📋 Tender Overview
The Computers for Inclusion program, from the Ministry of Communications (MCom), received, this Thursday (9), the donation of 160 computers from Banco do Brasil. The equipment was delivered to the Computer Reconditioning Center (CRC) Instituto Gustavo Hessel, where it will undergo reconditioning before being
destined for points of digital inclusion in different regions of the country.
We are giving a new destination to computers that were previously idle and are now coming to life by being donated to communities that really need it. More than technology, we are bringing opportunities and social transformation, highlighted Susi Malosti, representative of Banco do Brasil.
The Minister of Communications, Frederico de Siqueira Filho, highlighted the relevance of the partnership with Banco do Brasil and the social impact of the program. Having a major institution donating so much equipment is a recognition of the role of Computers for Inclusion in society. Each computer recovered represents more digital and social inclusion, and this is fundamental for the development of our country, he stated.
Digital inclusion and training
Since its creation, Computers for Inclusion has delivered more than 64,000 refurbished pieces of equipment, helping to bring technology and knowledge to communities in vulnerable situations.
The program supports and enables digital inclusion initiatives through Computer Reconditioning Centers (CRCs), spaces where equipment is restored, receives the environmentally correct disposal of electronic waste and hosts training courses and workshops in information technology.
Students trained at CRCs, mostly low-income young people and adults, have the opportunity to change their trajectories with technological education and professional qualifications. In addition to reconditioning equipment, the centers offer practical and multidisciplinary training, focusing on creative methodologies and innovative pedagogical resources.
It is a public policy that combines sustainability, digital inclusion and generation of opportunities. Each computer recovered is a bridge to the future, reinforced the minister.
