Tech Support For Developing World Ministries

We primarily work with ministries operating computer labs built upon the Linux Thin Server model. The LTSP enables the utilization of older computers that would otherwise be barely operable or obsolete. The system involves the use of one modern, higher capacity computer to serve as a type of mainframe while the older computers (clients) connect to it and use it's resources through simple network connections. Using such a system even the oldest computers can perform current operations on current software (the server's software) and at respectable speeds.

Refurbisher's Parts Network

In many locations in the developing world there are a surprising number of older computers and or parts available for ministries there to acquire. They often have a difficult time locating or affording parts to keep them running.

• Our DIY (Do It Yourself) refurbishers training tutorial teaches people how to dismantle their old PCs and arranging for the shipping of its parts to ministries around the world.
• Mediate between developing world ministries and commercial computer refurbishers to locate parts for them

Developing World Youth Refurbisher Training

We locate the parts and turn them over to ministries operating computer "building" classes. In somple words, we hand a kid a bucket of parts and say "There you go, build yourself YOUR computer. Obviously we help them the whole way but by the time they are done they will be familiar enough with their PC that not only will they be able to operate a computer but they will be thoroughly able to maintain and update it. Hopefully they would have acquired enough skills to aid them to get employment. and or help their ministry with more computer refurbishing.
