Supporting Newcomer Women Through Technology and Digital Inclusion

The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to announce its recent donation of 32 laptops and 2 desktop computers to the Calgary Immigrant Women’s Association (CIWA), helping support women and their families as they complete educational, employment, and community programs.

As a long-standing partner of CIWA, ERA is pleased to continue supporting the organization’s mission of empowering immigrant and newcomer women in Calgary, Alberta, through access to essential technology.

Bridging the Digital Divide for Newcomer Women in Calgary

Access to reliable computers is essential for education, employment preparation, digital literacy, and everyday communication. For many newcomers to Canada, having the right technology can make a meaningful difference in building independence and accessing new opportunities.

Through this donation of 34 computers, ERA is helping CIWA provide its clients with the digital tools they need to participate in programs, develop computer skills, complete assignments, and prepare for future employment opportunities.

The laptops and desktop computers will support CIWA’s ongoing efforts to help immigrant women build confidence, strengthen their skills, and succeed in their new communities.

A Long-Standing Partnership Making a Difference

ERA and CIWA have built a strong partnership around a shared commitment to community support and digital inclusion.

This latest technology donation reflects ERA’s ongoing dedication to ensuring that refurbished computers are given a second life while supporting Canadian charities and nonprofit organizations.

By extending the useful life of electronics, ERA helps reduce electronic waste while making technology more accessible to individuals and communities in need.
