How you can help
To
donate any old IT equipment you may have call us on 01234 779001
or email info@conquestwildman.co.uk
You
don’t have to have old computer equipment to donate in order
to help!
The time Conquest Wildman commit to these projects is all totally
voluntary and there are only so many hours in the day! So the
less time we spend collecting and packing equipment the more time
we can spend on preparing and refurbishing it, so if you have
free time and are able to drop kit off to us instead of asking
us to collect it then this would be much appreciated.
Whats
Next?
In 2005 we’re
hoping to collect enough equipment to be able to provide a similar
training facility in Bosnia, and more individual computer systems
to be used in small schools around Ashaley Botwe in Ghana.
So if you’re having computer equipment updated in the near
future, or have done recently, there is an alternative to putting
the old equipment in the basement until you either clear out or
move premises! |

These
pictures show a small computer training centre in Ashaley Botwe,
Ghana. The machines being used are just some of the many computers
that our customers in England have kindly donated to Conquest Wildman
for us to refurbish and use. With this equipment, the training centre
in Ghana is giving children in Africa a very valuable opportunity
to learn computer skills that they otherwise would not have.
Despite living
less than an hours drive from Accra, Ghana’s commercialised
capital, many of the children who are being taught at the centre
live in very basic accommodation, often without mains electricity,
let alone a computer
The Training
Centre
The
training centre is providing an opportunity for them to use a computer
themselves for real, and learn valuable computer skills from an early
age, narrowing the gap between people living in the capital Accra
where facilities are actually available, and the surrounding villages
such as Ashaley Botwe where technology and training is thin on the
ground. The centre also trains adults in the use of computers so as
to make best use of the facility A
Big Thank You
Thanks to our
customers who donated the equipment, the efforts of the Conquest
Wildman team and a group of volunteers who spent time collecting
and preparing the kit ready for transportation, a year later Komla
(the training centres teacher/manager) has been able to make sure
that the training centre is not only providing a valuable resource
to the local community but is now almost totally self sufficient.
It’s
not just one training centre either; from the numerous computers
donated, we have been able to provide refurbished equipment for
use in other similar projects, including local schools.
