Recycling computers responsibly in our global community!

Computer Drives

Wings for West Africa helps schools, churches and community groups to organize and conduct computer collection drives. Unusable equipment is turned over to Work Force, Inc., a non-profit which trains ex-offenders to break down and recycle the component parts.

Help provided by Wings as needed:

Providing flyers, PowerPoint presentations, signs and other materials
Attending meetings or make presentations
Publicizing the drive in the media
Helping with the logistics of collecting and sorting equipment before and during the drive
Providing tax donation forms to donors
Arranging for prompt removal of all equipment at the end of the drive

For more information please contact Susie Seal, Promotions Director, at Susie@wafwings.org or (317) 445-0788.
