Laptops
for Change
It goes without saying that a computer is a vital tool for accessing information, staying in touch with family and friends, and managing work and education. For people facing hardship—such as refugees, disaster victims, low-income families, and individuals with disabilities—technology becomes even more essential. It enables access to vital services, supports job searches and remote work, facilitates education and training, and helps people rebuild their lives.
By providing computers to those in need, we empower individuals to stay connected, access opportunities, and navigate their challenges with greater independence.
Desktops for the Learning and Activity Spaces for Children
Children from vulnerable groups—whether refugees, displaced families, or those from low-income households—often need additional support before enrolling in their local school systems. For example, refugee children may go through preparatory programs to adjust to a new educational environment, while others might benefit from remote learning opportunities to catch up on missed education or continue their studies in their native systems. Additionally, many children with disabilities and those facing socio-economic challenges need specialized educational tools and online resources to bridge the gap and ensure their success.
This digital support allows all children, regardless of their background, to stay connected to learning, gain vital skills, and continue their education without interruption.
Desktops for the Job Activation Spaces for Adults
This is an opportunity to help adults from various vulnerable groups, including refugees, displaced individuals, and those from marginalized communities, to activate professionally. Many institutions—such as museums, libraries, community centers, and job placement organizations—offer spaces where these individuals can meet in person, build networks, and collaborate professionally through peer-to-peer interactions. These initiatives allow adults to enhance their skills, share knowledge, and access resources that will help them integrate into the workforce, improve their economic stability, and foster a sense of belonging in their new communities.
By providing support and access to these spaces, we enable individuals to unlock their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society.

Learning & Activity Spaces for Children
Learning and Activity Spaces for Children:
Through our work with local communities, we have discovered an immense need for computer equipment to support education and integration efforts. Whether helping Ukrainian refugee children prepare for school in Poland, assisting low-income students with learning resources, or providing children with disabilities access to essential tools, technology plays a crucial role in ensuring equal educational opportunities. By bridging this digital gap, we can empower children and young learners to adapt, grow, and succeed in their new environments.

The desktops received through the grant would have arrived without monitors as they are expensive to ship. The support groups can rally their fundraising efforts by any and all means, but we are here to help with the fundraising efforts, too.

Wspieramy szkoły organizujące oddziały przygotowawcze dla ponad 100 uczniów z Ukrainy. SP 25 to duża placówka, więc miasto jako organ prowadzący dość szybko zdecydowało o utworzeniu tam oddziałów przygotowawczych. Wysyłaliśmy tam dzieci, które zgłaszały się do innych szkół, ponieważ nie mieliśmy zgody na tworzenie kolejnych oddziałów. W efekcie jest kilka takich placówek w mieście, które dość szybko zapełniały się dziećmi, nie zawsze z danej ulicy, dzielnicy. Szkoła prosi o kilka komputerów, które chce ustawić w salach oddziałów przygotowawczych, by uczniowie z Ukrainy mogli na bieżąco sprawdzać potrzebne im informacje. Propozycja przekazania 8 komputerów stacjonarnych (po dwa na dany oddział).

Job Activation Spaces for Adults
Job Activation Spaces for Adults:
Through our work with local communities, we’ve identified a significant need for computer equipment to support professional activation programs for adults, particularly those facing barriers to employment. This includes refugees, displaced individuals, and low-income or marginalized groups who are seeking to re-enter the workforce or gain new skills. Many community centers, libraries, and vocational institutions offer spaces where adults can meet, collaborate, and engage in skill-building workshops. Access to technology in these settings is crucial to help individuals search for jobs, develop digital skills, and connect with potential employers or peers.
By providing the necessary tools, we enable adults to activate professionally, improve their economic prospects, and become more connected to their communities.
