Why this matters

Access to technology is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Through Project 100: From Dust to Digital, we’re empowering students by transforming unused or discarded laptops into tools for learning, growth, and opportunity.

Digital access equals opportunity

A laptop can be the difference between staying connected to school or falling behind.

Reduce e-waste, extend device life

We keep devices out of landfills by refurbishing and reusing components.

Transparent, community-driven impact

We document every step — from collection to handover — and publish an impact report after the campaign.

Empower the next generation

Every refurbished laptop represents renewed hope, bridging the gap between potential and opportunity.
