The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to donate a laptop, a desktop computer, and a printer to the Indigenous Wellness Training Society, providing vital technology to support a local entrepreneur in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES).
This donation will directly benefit a single mother of three who is taking bold steps to start her own small t-shirt business. With access to a reliable PC, laptop, and printer, she will be able to design, manage, and promote her products more efficiently, helping her grow her business and create new opportunities for her family.
Empowering Through Technology
At ERA, we believe that access to technology can be life-changing—especially for individuals facing social and economic barriers. This donation will not only assist with day-to-day business operations but will also help bridge the digital divide for a family in need. By providing the right tools, we aim to empower individuals to achieve their goals, support their communities, and improve their quality of life.
About the Indigenous Wellness Training Society
The Indigenous Wellness Training Society works to promote the health, well-being, and self-sufficiency of Indigenous individuals and families through training, education, and cultural programs. By supporting initiatives like this, ERA is contributing to the Society’s mission of creating pathways to independence and sustainable livelihoods.
Reducing E-Waste, Increasing Opportunities
Every year, the ERA collects unwanted electronics from individuals and businesses across Canada, securely erases data, and refurbishes devices for donation to charities, nonprofits, and individuals in need. This process not only extends the life of technology but also reduces electronic waste in landfills.
If your business or household has laptops, desktops, printers, or other IT equipment you no longer need, consider donating them to ERA. Your contribution could empower someone to launch a business, pursue education, or simply connect with the digital world.
