In 2023, Camara supported 429 schools in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and
Zambia. We estimate that our projects and activities provided over 190,000
students with the opportunity to become digitally literate and improve their
educational outcomes, which could significantly improve their futures.
Some of the numbers behind the year:
• 4,317 computers installed, along with educational content tailored to the needs and
curriculum of each country in which we operate
• 1,966 teachers trained in the use of ICT in education
• Reduction in the release of 8.5 million kg of carbon to the atmosphere and 42,000 kg of
e-waste to landfill by reusing end-of-life equipment.
The covid years took an enormous toll on our organisation - many schools closed for long
periods, donations dried up and we faced difficulties travelling to support our operations.
Post-covid, I can say the organisation is back on track. The positive impact we achieved this
year was due primarily to the skill, resilience and hard work of the amazing Camara teams in
the UK, Ireland, USA and Africa. So a big thanks to all of them. I also want to thank our
incredible donors who have worked closely with us to deliver these programs. Whether it’s
computers or money, the impact has been significant on the teachers, their students and on
the communities in which they live. Again thank you for all your contributions.
As we look forward to 2024 and beyond, the need to deliver digital literacy to the world’s
poorest people has never been more important, and Camara is committed to being at the
forefront of that work.
