Computer Aid International needs your old computer. Donating a computer for re-use is more cost effective than normal refuse recycling and has far greater environmental and social benefits.

Computer Aid fully refurbish, pack and ship donated Pentium computers for re-use in not-for-profit sectors overseas. So far the charity has distributed, in the order of, 50,000 Pentium computers to 4,000 educational organisations and 2,500 communities in 90 different developing countries worldwide.

Such figures have been achievable through donor partnerships with large companies such as British Airways, Warner Brothers and Ford and distribution partnerships overseas with programmes such as SchoolNet Africa, World Links and the British Council.

Whether you are a business looking to offload your old computers or an individual, Computer Aid International can give your old computer(s) a new life, with one proviso, they have to be Pentium II.

To find more you can call Vaneeta Pinheiro on 0207 281 0091, or e-mail on vaneeta@computeraid.org
