Camara Education is a non-profit organization that provides computers, teacher training, and innovative learning programs to schools across Africa. Their mission is to transform education using technology to empower disadvantaged students.
We are a voluntary organisation delivering e-learning & teacher training in Africa. Our mission is to transform education using technology to empower disadvantaged students. Our vision is a world-class technology-enabled education accessible to all.
Camara has four values demonstrated through our behaviour which is the essence of Camara: • Committed - we deliver results • Caring - we care for our people and those we serve • Creative - we innovate to solve problems • Collaborative - we achieve more by working together. In addition to its core objective, Camara has a positive impact on: • Sharing practical employment skills - the vast majority of schools are labelled as disadvantaged. We focus on the most disadvantaged schools that have electricity & the financial resources required • The environment through the reuse of technology - Camara regards environmental protection as an integral & essential part of good business practice.
Why work with us
We are an international not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to use technology to improve education in low income communities. We believe better education gives people the tools to create better life opportunities for themselves. We take computers donated by companies, securely erase all data on them and then where possible re-market them for reuse. Money made from this re-marketing is used to purchase suitable computers for use in schools. • These computers are sent to our Education Hubs in Africa and Ireland, who in turn set them up as computer labs in schools in socially-deprived areas. • Our Hubs train the teachers and school leaders how to use the labs to teach digital literacy. • Camara also design different educational software packages, tied to the local curriculum, which supports the teachers in STEM subjects. • Our Computer Labs are supported by warranty and maintenance contracts with the schools. • We incentivise schools to return end-of-life computers so we can ensure they are ethically recycled.
