Two UK Charities First to Benefit from Dell YouthConnect Grant
Posted by cdieurope on January 12th, 2010
Dell YouthConnect, a global programme designed to support education and digital inclusion initiatives for underserved youth was launched in the UK today. The US$694,000 cash and in-kind grants of Dell products were awarded to the Center for Digital Inclusion (CDI) and Action for Children. The grants will be used to improve access to technology in the UK and help young people develop the transferable skills needed to enhance lives and pursue professional careers.
The Dell YouthConnect programme was launched in February 2009 and by the end of the year, Dell will have donated more than US$8 million to educational and digital initiatives that will impact more than 100,000 young people in eight countries. The cash and in-kind grants support technology education for young people, and promote maths, science and technology skills development. Dell assesses technology and infrastructure needs together with the recipient organisations, and awards strategic partnerships and employee-directed grants to meet their specific needs.
