Have you ever wondered how your old lap-top will waste away in a landfill somewhere outside of town? It’s not a pretty sight. Electronics, including lap-tops, are one of the greatest contributors of heavy metal pollutants. You don’t have to be a tree-hugger to know that’s probably not a good thing.

Solution? Donate your second-hand laptop to the Elias Fund! We recently received an email from our partners in Chiredzi asking for laptops for their scholarship beneficiaries. The lack of funding for public universities has made access to working computers sharply inadequate. The students are finding it difficult to study and complete assignments given the poor access to technology.

So if you want to empower these students with the best possible learning environment, and help the global environment at the same time, please let us know. Donate your old lap-top today. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Has it really been since July that we last posted an update?! Wow. I must apologize. Though our length of silence has been long, much has been happening behind the scenes. Most importantly we’ve been assembling profile videos of our Zimbabwean partners… just for YOU!! You deserve to know the names and faces, hear the voices of the hard-working Zimbabweans YOU support through your advocacy and fundraising. So take a look. Come and hear from the individuals diligently spreading hope and opportunity to their fellow countrymen:
