The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) believes that every child, no matter what country they’re from or their social background, should have the chance to use and learn about technology. That is why the ERA was thrilled to donate 3 laptops to the Sister Disciple of Sacred Heart (Soeur disciple de sacre Coeur) in Madagascar.
Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Soeur disciple de sacre Coeur) is a religious congregation located in Mandrosoa Ivato in the capital of Madagascar. The sisters live among their people to carry out their mission to care for the sick, feed the hungry and educating children. With this donation ERA hope to bolster education and economic growth by making digital technologies available in the developing world.
Madagascar, an island nation off Africa’s southeast coast, is extremely poor: 75% of the population (25 million) live below the poverty line, and the country scores low on the human development index, performing poorly in areas like education and living standards.
The Sister Disciple of Sacred Heart are still in need of laptops to help the students who generally come from poor families to continue their education. They don’t have enough equipment and the few they have are outdated or unusable.
If you are wanting to help organizations and families receive the gift of technology and give them an option, please contact our toll number 1.877.9EWASTE or go to our website and fill out our form here.
