3. Develop Africa www.developafrica.org/computer-labs-Africa
Develop Africa is a non-profit organization working to establish meaningful and sustainable development in Africa. It is involved in a range of programs in Africa supporting education, microfinance and small businesses, job skills / leadership development training etc.
They are currently running the “Computer Labs for Schools in Africa” project. This project attempts to close the technology gap by providing schools in Africa with free computer labs (15 to 25 computers each). However they do mention in their site: www.developafrica.org/what_we_do_not_do that they do not encourage unsolicited partnerships requests from organizations, or unsolicited requests for equipment, supplies, computers, funding, etc. If you still want to try, please contact Develop Africa representatives directly by sending filling out the following form: www.developafrica.org/contact_form_general
