Computer from the Heart
In Israel, over 200,000 children lack access to a computer due to their parents' financial constraints.
In today's digital age, a computer is fundamental for education, communication, and career development. Children without access to this vital tool risk falling behind their peers. Once this gap emerges, it becomes increasingly challenging, and sometimes unfeasible, to close.
The "Computer from the Heart" association was founded to bridge this digital divide, aiming to guarantee universal access to computers and equal opportunities for all. The organization serves a wide demographic, catering to both children and adults alike.
Who we are?
We're a diverse team of professionals hailing from key sectors in Israeli industry, including hi-tech, computing, law, finance, and marketing. Our collective expertise enables us to drive the association's mission forward effectively.
In the course of our professional activities, we encounter computers that are still in excellent working condition but are deemed "obsolete" by companies looking to upgrade their hardware.
We've also observed that these companies often face challenges in finding entities willing to take these still-functional computers and redistribute them to those in need, all while operating on a non-profit basis.
As we discussed this issue with our colleagues, it became increasingly clear that it is not an isolated problem but a widespread phenomenon.
Identifying a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we decided to take matters into our own hands. We established the organization and set up operations to ensure these computers reach those who can truly benefit from them.
What's our action plan?
We gather unused computers from companies and businesses
Our volunteer tech team inspects, repairs, and preps the computers for use
We maintain a precise database of computer requests from social workers and other organizations
We package each computer, then transport and deliver it to those in need
How to partake?
We're in the startup phase, handling all tasks in-house. At this stage, your involvement is crucial. We're actively seeking donations of functional computers—whether from your organization or personal residence—that we can then redistribute to those in need. Your contributions will go a long way in helping us achieve our mission.
The real question isn't "why now," but rather "why not sooner?" While there are other organizations with similar goals, the demand far outstrips the supply. Recognizing this, we leveraged our networks and expertise to contribute to this critically important mission.
Why now?
Donation
During the current war situation in Israel following the horrific terrorist attack of October 7th, the main focus of the association activity is to support families that were forced to evacuate their homes, and provide them with a working computer so they could try and manage some sort of normal every day lives.
Your contribution is very important to us and have a huge impact. Please note that currently we can not provide 501(c)(3).
