Computers, smartphones, tablets and smartwatches have become an important part of everyday life.
Doctor’s appointments are booked online, communication with public authorities is increasingly digital, and staying in touch with family and friends happens more and more through screens. For many people, digital technology has become a key to participating fully in society.
But not everyone has access. For people on low incomes, digital devices are often simply out of reach, along with the opportunities they enable. To support them, we donated more than 40 decommissioned computers (without hard drives) as well as projectors to digitale-engel.de last week.
There, our devices get a second life, right where they are truly needed.
