Who We Are1Camara Education sets up eLearning centres in schools in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia and trains teachers and local staff to use and maintain them. We achieve this thanks to generous funders, and also by working with companies around the world to recycle surplus or end-of-life computers and other IT equipment. Camara exists because we believe the world would be a better place if all young people were empowered through innovative education to create the life they want to lead.

2What We DoSince our foundation in 2005, we have installed more than 130,000 computers in over 12,000 schools. We estimate that these have helped 4 million children become digitally literate. That means they leave school with the skills needed to flourish in a digital world. They can type. They can create text documents and spreadsheets. They can use a computer for research. We operate four Education Hubs in Africa – in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia. These operate as independent social enterprises serving local market needs through a sustainable business model.

In Africa, our hubs strive to become innovative leaders in e-waste management. Why WeDo It3
