"If the world is serious about achieving the Millennium Development Goal of halving the number of people living in extreme poverty by the year 2015, ICT must figure prominently in the effort. Everyone - governments, civil society, private sector businesses - has a vital stake in fostering digital opportunity and putting ICT at the service of development."

Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General 1996-2006 UNCTAD Report on E-commerce and Development, 2002

 
Digital Pipeline promotes affordable and environmentally responsible reuse of used computers to help technologically disadvantaged schools and communities in Africa and other parts of the world.


About us

We aim to advance the education of the public and relieve poverty by providing access to information and communications technology for those who most need it, with a focus on developing countries throughout Africa and other parts of the world.

We also aim to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment by facilitating the re-use of ICT equipment.

We achieve these aims through our member partners who refurbish, redeploy and recycle IT equipment on behalf of organisations wishing to provide computers for education and community groups.

Partners are expected to work to Digital Pipeline’s Policies and Standards and ensure that legal, data protection, quality and environmental issues are addressed for Donors and Beneficiaries.

Digital Pipeline would like to express its thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for its ongoing support and assistance in the development of the Digital Pipeline. Microsoft has been extremely influential in its support of building the federation of key partners and stakeholders and is also a Donor of PCs to the Digital Pipeline.

Digital Pipeline is a UK registered charity registered number 1118674.
