Opening up a new world with computers for Africa
COMPUTER equipment from Nailsworth is on its way to Africa, thanks to staff at Corinium Care.
When the live-in care agency bought a new IT system, the staff didn't want to send its redundant kit to landfill. Enter IT Schools Africa: a charity based in Cheltenham, which has shipped more than 35,000 refurbished computers to schools in Africa since 2006.

Ron Pearce, Donations Coordinator from IT Schools Africa, was delighted to receive Corinium's six computers, monitors and keyboards.
"Without people like Corinium Care, we wouldn't be able to bring IT knowledge to many thousands of children in Africa," he said.

“"the staff didn't want to send its redundant kit to landfill" no they don't or the WEEE police will be after them and they could end up in court and get a hefty fine!”
