The mission of Computers for Africa (CFA) is promoting sustainable Information and Communications Technology (ICT) development in rural African communities. Ours is a comprehensive program, developed by our African and USA personnel. Our story starts with American volunteers refurbishing computers into ready-to-set-up labs and ends with a cluster of sustainable ICT programs in a rural African district.

Our approach to promoting African ICT development can be summarized in four key tenets: send quality hardware, educate for sustainability, maximize positive impact, and strengthen community relationships. We invite you to explore our web site to learn more.
