Can you imagine life without a computer?
Across Africa, millions of students still can. In many rural schools, learners finish their education without ever touching a device — cut off from digital tools, online learning, and opportunity. Let’s change that.
Computers2Africa’s mission is to promote digital inclusion, educational equity, and environmental sustainability by refurbishing donated computers and delivering them to communities across Africa. By bridging the digital divide, we help unlock opportunity through access to technology.
You can donate working laptops, desktops, tablets, and accessories. Simply pack your tech securely in a cardboard box (max 20kg), using bubble wrap and fragile tape. Then, fill out the online form to book a free collection from your UK address or arrange a drop-off at a nearby location.
All eligible devices are professionally wiped using NIST-approved software, refurbished with educational software, and sent to vetted schools and centres across Africa. If a device isn’t suitable for reuse, it’s either sold in the charity shop to fund shipments or responsibly recycled.
You’re encouraged to make a voluntary donation to help cover shipping costs—every contribution helps get tech into the hands of learners who need it most.
“Today, I received my laptop—less than one week after I was told. I am so happy! The gadget is good, it is nice, and it is even a modern one. I never thought I would own something like this. Already, I am using it to study and help others. May God bless you for remembering people like us. You have planted a seed that will grow in many lives”. Jessica, Student and Trader in Zambia.
Computers2Africa is a charitable programme by Books To Africa International, a UK-registered charity (1152599) and a Microsoft Third Party Refurbisher (TPR). Born from the success of Books2Africa UK, Computers2Africa expands our mission into the digital age. With over 4.2 million books delivered to 20+ countries, we’re now applying the same trusted model to close Africa’s digital divide — one device at a time.
