In many homes in India, children and parents enjoy the luxury of personal cell phones, tablets, and laptop computers. For adults, these are essential for work, managing the home, and staying in touch with friends and family.
Children use tablets as part of their educational programs. Many formal education programs, as well as vocational and non-formal education classes, rely on the use of tablets for students to access course materials and readings.
Families living in poverty, despite the best efforts of parents, are often faced with the difficulties of not being able to afford technology and devices for their children. They simply cannot stretch their earnings to cover the costs of food, shelter, clothing, education, and the need to purchase a tablet.
Donate a Tablet to a Student
A very effective solution to this problem is to allow individuals and families to donate a tablet to a student. This can be accomplished in several ways, with charitable trusts providing programs to collect tablets or donations and ensure they are distributed to the children who need them the most.
Two Ways to Donate
Most people upgrade their tablet on a regular basis. The old tablets are still ideal for students, and these tablets can be donated to a local charitable trust that provides education programs and services in the community.
Another option is to donate cash to a charitable trust to purchase tablets, laptops, or other educational materials. This is a wonderful option as a one-time donation or as a monthly contribution to the education of children throughout India.
Either choosing to donate a tablet or giving the gift of cash to a charitable trust helps impoverished students have a brighter future.
