Homework is a non-profit organisation that relies on hardware and monetary donations as a means of providing students in need with access to technology. The app allows donors to search for and select students in need, view the specific technology requirements of each student and make donations.
Understanding Tech Donations:
There is a huge digital gap amongst students in the UK with up to 1.78 million students not having access to technology and devices. Currently 527 million electric devices clutter Britain‘s homes, resulting in 40% of UK adults throwing away at least 1 electrical item a year instead of donating. And so, unprivileged students are unable to access the technology they need, making it impossible for them to thrive in their education.
Homework aims to bridge the gap by providing students with the technology donations needed to reach their educational goals.
