Computing takes the Cycle Kenya charity challenge

Computing is taking part in Computer Aid International’s Kenya Cycle Challenge next year and we need your help.

Since Computing started working with Computer Aid in 2004, our readers have pledged more than 50,000 used PCs that have been refurbished for use in Africa and South America.

In February 2007, publisher Robin Booth, editor-in-chief Toby Wolpe and senior reporter Dave Friedlos will cycle 400km across savannah plains, parks and tropical rainforests to raise funds for the IT education of more than 1,000 African children.

While in Kenya, they will visit schools and non-government bodies where your machines are now being used. We are appealing to the IT community to help us raise money for Computer Aid.

Computing has been supporting Computer Aid International for three years and we are taking part in the Kenya Cycle Challenge to raise money to help the charity continue with its valuable work of sending reconditioned computers to the developing world.

Donating is simple, fast and totally secure – simply click here to go to our fundraising site at www.justgiving.com/computingkenya. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Computer Aid International will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28 per cent in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Computer Aid is a registered charity and the world's most experienced and respected not-for-profit supplier of professionally refurbished computers to developing country educational and community development organisations.
