🌟 **Exciting News from "Old Tech For New Beginnings"!** 🌟 We're thrilled to share the progress of our ESG initiative, "Old Tech For New Beginnings," which breathes new life into surplus corporate technology. Our mission is simple yet impactful: to empower refugees with the tools and skills they need to thrive in our digital world. 🔗 **Connectivity is a Right, Not a Privilege** By redistributing end-of-life PCs and laptops, we're not just recycling tech; we're unlocking opportunities. Every device we donate opens a window to knowledge, employment, and community for someone who has had to leave everything behind. 💡 **Digital Literacy: The Key to New Beginnings** In partnership with dedicated refugee charities, we're planning to launch digital literacy workshops that go beyond the basics. Our workshops are designed to inspire, educate, and integrate, ensuring that every participant can navigate the digital landscape with confidence. 🤝 **Join Us in Making a Difference** This project is more than technology; it's about hope and human connection. We invite you to join us in this journey. Whether you're a corporation with technology to donate or an individual with a passion for teaching, there's a place for you in "Old Tech For New Beginnings." Let's work together to make technology accessible and inclusive for all. Because when we lift others, we rise together. #ESG #SocialImpact #DigitalInclusion #RefugeeSupport #CorporateResponsibility ---
