Turn your old unused laptop into a precious life-changing gift!

Have an old used laptop gathering dust somewhere, but don't know how or where to get rid of it? Here's some great news! Donate a laptop and Join the movement to empower many leaders in Uganda, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone!

World Harvest in collaboration with a local church, IFGF GISI Los Angeles, is putting together a Regional Conference from January 6 – January 22, 2010 to help equip the local community and church leaders, mainly in the 4 regions of Africa, which include Kampala (Uganda), Lagos and Warri Delta (Nigeria), and Freetown (Sierra Leone). Equipping the community and church leaders with leadership conference is very necessary, but the greatest need would be in providing good and effective materials for those leaders so they will be equipped and followed up well even after the conference is over. Many of these leaders who have the great responsibility of working in the urban and rural areas of Africa, have received little training, have few, if any, books and receive little ongoing teaching support for their works.

In fact, most of these leaders are lacking a crucial piece of technology that can help them work even more effectively – a laptop!

We realized that there is a need for trained leaders who can bring impact to their communities with vision, integrity, and character. Our goal is to equip 600 leaders through this Regional Conference. It would cost $50-$60 to just print a material for one leader. Therefore, it would definitely save a ton of money if all the materials are put together in a laptop. In addition, the follow up materials may be sent via an internet link that enables them to download from it easily in future.

Therefore, please consider donating your old, unused laptop that is still working properly. We will reformat every donated laptop and install them with all kinds of materials needed for the Regional Conference as well as software that will be very useful to them. Instead of taking up space in your closet, or even a landfill, your trusty old technology can be given new life while being used to make a difference in the lives of these African leaders. And it's a tax deductible gift-in-kind donation!
