The Turing Trust supports education in sub-Saharan Africa by reusing computers and improving teacher training using ICT.
We provide skills development in the UK while reducing waste and contributing to an environmentally friendly society.
We have reused over 5,700 PCs enabling more than 55,000 students to gain a digital education.
With your help we can build a more inclusive digital future, ensuring that every school can teach ICT effectively.
We have been delivering ICT resources to the ICCES (Integrated Community Centres for Employable Skills) and selected Primary and Junior High Schools in Ghana since 2009. We started working in Malawi in partnership with the Centre for Youth and Development in Mzuzu in 2015 to provide technology-enabled education in schools in the Northern Region of Malawi and delivered our pilot SolarBerry to the community in Choma in June 2018.
We have supported hundreds of schools in Ghana, Liberia and Malawi with computers.
We have directly supported thousands of students in Ghana and Malawi to become IT literate.
We train teachers on basic computer maintenance and using computers to support their teaching.
Our IT reuse programme continues to generate environmental benefits, with a lifetime total of waste diverted and reused of 89 tonnes, and carbon savings of 3,021 tonnes.
