Global electronic waste is a rising and multi-faceted problem, which grows complex by the minute. Statistics tell us that we generate about 50 million tons of e-waste every year. That’s akin to “throwing out 1000 laptops every single second” As proven during the coronavirus pandemic, the digital divide between haves and have-nots is larger than ever. Before, computers may have played a supplementary role in one’s education. Following the pandemic lockdowns, they became essential. If you didn’t have an operating PC or laptop to attend online classes, your education simply ceased. Faced with this troubling reality, a large number of local and global nonprofits sprung into action, and tech donations soared. Children in the developing world as well as the underserved children in the developed countries, were all able to get on with their online classes with the help of donated computers and laptops. Now, at the end of 2022, the Covid-19 pandemic may seem like something of the past, but the need for tech donations is still very much there. WeForum reports that 33% of children in America belonging to lower income families do not have access to a family computer.
