IT For Children (www.itforchildren.org) is a non-profit organization based in Sweden, targeted towards Ghana, West Africa. Our main mission is to provide the necessary tools for the children and youth of Ghana to gain knowledge, education and confidence – in order to grow as individuals and subsequently contribute to the development of their country. We have a 90-account granted from the Swedish Fundraising Control (90-konto beviljat från Svensk insamlingskontroll). 

Our initial and current step towards our mission is to provide Ghanaian schools with computers and internet. Thus, we are currently collecting used laptops from companies and individuals in Sweden, in order to send them to the schools in Ghana. In this way we recycle computers that are no longer needed by their owners in Sweden, distributing them to a developing country where they are wished-for, needed and crucial for future development.

Our project is located in the small coastal town of Busua, in the Western Region of Ghana. In the community library, we have established electricity and internet access pursuing daily ICT classes for the school children of the community. As the library's capacity is limited, the community of Busua has given us land located on the school yard to build our own ICT facilities. 

We are currently fundraising for the construction. If you want to contribute to the project, you can make a donation or become a monthly donor here: https://www.itforchildren.org/#donate
