Donations

The children at the homes need new computers and iPads, education software, and other IT equipment.

If you are interested in making financial donations to support the purchase of technology-related items for the homes, please see our Donations page to donate via bank transfer, OR visit our fundraising page on Global Giving for credit card, PayPal, and other methods of donating.

If you would like to make product donations such as new computers or other hardware, please contact us at [email protected].

We have a point system for the kids who are participating in the sessions. Your donations buy YMW ePoints which allow the kids to have more equipment or sessions. There are times we need to purchase software/licenses as well as hardware for a home.
