Computer Aid International has provided professionally refurbished PCs and support services to support disadvantaged people in developing countries. The charity was started in 1998 by international development professionals who noticed the huge need for computers in the organisations that they were working with in Africa and Latin America. Since then the charity has provided over 140,000 PCs to where they are most needed in schools, hospitals and other educational and non-profit organisations in over 100 developing countries.
 Just as it is in the UK, computer literacy is an essential skill for anyone seeking professional employment in Africa - but the high cost of new equipment means that most schools cannot offer IT training for their students. Every penny that Computer Aid International raises through its partnership with Tree Appeal will be used to cover the cost of refurbishing and shipping PCs to schools and colleges in Africa that would otherwise be unable to afford such facilities.
