Digital Links Model

As a provider of technology solutions for development, Digital Links brings the best technology available worldwide at an affordable cost. Partnerships with multinationals, corporations, governments and civil society actors have allowed us to distribute over 65,000 computers to schools, hospitals and NGOs across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.

Computers donated in the UK are refurbished to the highest standard in accordance with UK environmental and data protection legislation, ensuring optimal reuse and limiting the strain on world resources.

Through innovative partnerships with leading PC manufacturers Digital Links can also provide new computers enabling access to the best equipment available for low income groups at significantly reduced cost.

Since its creation in 2002, over 1.5 million people have gained their first access to IT through Digital Links. Within the next five years, Digital Links intends to increase our impact five-fold. Here is how...
