Mission Statement

To act as a partner in helping bridge the global digital divide for youth, promoting cultural understanding between students in developed and developing countries, and building local capacity for the use of information & communication technology in education.

Description

World Computer Exchange (WCE) delivers donated computers to schools and other youth organizations in developing countries, and helps build the capacity of these organizations to connect youth and their communities to resources and people worldwide via the internet. WCE utilizes a virtual network of volunteers to support these projects, providing help with the technology, local content development, and sustainability via fees for telecentre operations after hours. WCE's efforts are also supported by volunteer teams in 30 cities in the US and Canada that recruit sister schools and collect donated, used computers, thereby keeping them out of landfills.
