The Labdoo.org aid project is a global NGO and a private initiative run by volunteers.
The project collects unused or decommissioned laptops, tablets and eBook readers for educational projects both at home and abroad – including schools in Africa. The aim is to bridge the digital divide and make it easier for children to access IT and education.
So-called 'flight sponsors' take the donated devices with them on their existing travels and hand them over to schools and children's and youth projects ('Edoovillages') on site. If necessary, they also assist with the return transport of devices that are no longer usable so that they can be professionally recycled or disposed of.
Via www.labdoo.org/de every donor can track where their donated devices are being put to use. Labdoo's volunteers ensure that all donated devices have their data securely wiped in accordance with the recommendations of the BSI (Federal Office for Information Security).

What is the project's goal?
The goal is to use IT donations to provide children and young people all over the world with access to IT and education, thereby reducing the 'digital divide' in an environmentally friendly way. To this end, Labdoo also provides child-friendly content on the laptops in various languages.
Who benefits from this?
Students and refugees in over 1,500 schools worldwide. Orphanages and projects aimed at promoting the education of children and young people receive computers.
What are the challenges?
For Labdoo, the biggest challenge is finding flight or transport sponsors to deliver the collected laptops and similar technical equipment to the recipient schools in the target regions.
What is Ajimba’s contribution?
The Ajimba headquarters in Bremen-Findorff serves as a collection point for laptop donations. In addition, workshops are organized and held at Ajimba to securely wipe old data from the laptops and install new educational content. Together with volunteers, the equipment is prepared for transport.
As another key contribution, Ajimba organizes the transport of laptop donations to the target regions. Guests can voluntarily bring equipment to southern Africa and drop it off at schools and projects on-site. Ajimba handles the coordination for this.
Can Ajimba guests visit?
Yes, you are welcome to visit one of the local schools and use your skills to contribute to the education of children and young people. Or, become a flight or transport sponsor yourself and help deliver a donated laptop to our contact person at the destination.
