Our Mission
A donated laptop is just hardware. In our hands, it becomes a working classroom; loaded with Kreyòl textbooks, offline access to Wikipedia and Khan Academy, and tools built to keep running long after the internet doesn’t.
“We don’t send computers to Haiti. We send classrooms that work without Wi-Fi.”
We take computers that colleges, companies, and individuals are ready to retire; machines still perfectly capable of teaching a child to read, code, or do long division, and give them a second life in Haitian classrooms.
Every machine is reconditioned, wiped, and rebuilt on a Linux system we’ve engineered specifically for schools with no reliable internet and no dedicated IT staff. Before it ever reaches a classroom, it’s pre-loaded with over 500 French and Kreyòl open-source books, offline copies of Wikipedia, Khan Academy, and the Gutenberg Library, and educational software like Scratch, PhET, Tux, and Anki. Then it’s shipped, installed, and handed to a teacher who can turn it on and start using it the same day.
“500+ Kreyòl and French books. Zero internet required.”
Digital literacy isn’t a bonus skill anymore, it’s the baseline for competing in tomorrow’s workforce. But for most schools in Haiti, the path to that literacy is blocked at every turn: computer hardware is expensive to buy and expensive to import, internet access is unreliable or absent, and few schools can afford, or find, a teacher fluent in both technology and Kreyòl.
We didn’t build a program that assumes those barriers away. We built one that works around every single one of them.
“Access to knowledge should not depend on internet connectivity.”
Most donated-computer programs stop at “donated.” We stop at “still running three years later.”
Our team combines over a decade of Linux systems engineering, technology education at the university level, and hands-on work with Open Educational Resources; plus fluency in Haitian Kreyòl and culture; to build something schools can actually keep alive. If a workstation breaks or gets misconfigured, a teacher or student can restore it to factory condition in under 10 minutes, no IT department required. We back every deployment with French and Kreyòl how-to videos, so the knowledge to maintain the system stays in the building, not with us.
“Fix it in 10 minutes. No IT department needed.”
You don’t need to be a tech company to help put a working classroom in a Haitian school. Donate equipment you’re ready to retire, give your time to help recondition it, or make a financial gift to help us cover shipping and logistics; every contribution is tax-deductible under our 501(c)(3) status.
