Jamie’s Computers will be providing refurbished computer equipment to the developing world. Working with Computer Aid International, the Southampton based enterprise will be preparing over 200 computer systems to be shipped to Nigeria in time for Christmas. The computers will be used by students in the National Library of Nigeria.
Computer Aid has been providing equipment to the developing world since 1998, helping to bridge the digital divide between rich and poor countries through the provision of high quality refurbished computers. The computers mainly go to schools and other educational establishments in the developing world.
Amanda Golding, Refurbishment Coordinator at Jamie’s says:
“Jamie’s has been running for 5 years collecting redundant IT from local businesses, refurbishing and providing computers at affordable prices to our local community. Working with Computer Aid to make the refurbished IT more widely available is a great opportunity for us and we’re very excited. The operation will also enable us to increase the number of training placements we can host for the vulnerable adults we work with.
“In addition, the partnership will provide benefits to our business disposal customers as it will enable us to reduce our rates significantly. Many businesses are also interested in socially responsible procurement – a requirement that we can meet. Both organisations are registered with the Environment Agency as Approved Authorised Treatment Facilities.”
