The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) recently donated 20 refurbished laptops to the Amparo International Foundation in Chilliwack, British Columbia, helping expand access to technology for individuals and families supported by the organization.
Amparo International Foundation is dedicated to providing community support, humanitarian assistance, and resources to individuals facing social and economic challenges. Access to reliable technology plays an important role in helping organizations like Amparo deliver programs, communicate with community members, and support education and employment opportunities.
Through this donation, the laptops will be used to assist with program operations, administrative work, and digital access for those who rely on the foundation’s services. By providing refurbished equipment, ERA helps ensure that organizations have the tools they need to better serve their communities.
The Electronic Recycling Association is a Canadian non-profit organization focused on reducing electronic waste while improving access to technology for charities, schools, and non-profit organizations. ERA collects unwanted electronics from businesses and individuals, securely processes and refurbishes usable equipment, and redistributes devices to organizations in need.
Operating under internationally recognized standards including ISO 27001 (Information Security Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ERA ensures that all devices are handled responsibly with strict data security and environmental practices.
Donations like this not only help strengthen community organizations but also contribute to a more sustainable approach to electronics by extending the life of valuable devices.
