About the program
Computers for inclusion is a public policy of the Ministry of Communications that leads digital access to needy communities throughout Brazil. The program reconditions computers that no longer serve for banks, public agencies and courts, revitalizing them in computer reconditioning centers (CRCs) around the country.
After reconditioning, the machines are donated to public schools, associations, indigenous villages, rural areas, slums and quilombola territories, such as Pitanga dos Palmares. The initiative also enables young people and adults in computer courses, promoting digital inclusion and generation of opportunities.
In addition, the program adopts sustainable practices, properly allocating the electronic waste generated in the reconditioning process.
