2023 Laptop Drive

2023 Laptop Drive

Schools in Jamaica are facing a digital divide exacerbated by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Many low-income families cannot afford to supply the computing resources needed to continue their children's education.


In communication with Staff at Glenmuir High, we determined that one of the more pressing needs, is for students to have access to computers for their Technical Drawing coursework. To complete their drawings, students use the AutoCAD software suite. This piece of software has fairly robust computing needs, of which, most students are unable to afford themselves.


The school does provide some computing resources, but they are limited in nature. Douglas & Friends is seeking to assist in this area.


With your help, DFF's mission is to donate [at least] 10 laptop computers to the school. The cost of one computer is approximately $400 USD.


The Douglas & Friends Foundation never forgets its roots, and to that end, "every mikkle mek a muckle." To our friends near and far, this means that even if you can't sponsor the the full amount, we still greatly appreciate any donation you can provide.


Please donate whatever you can. The students appreciate your help, You and DFF can bridge the gap!
