📋 Tender Overview
In reference to Red December, HIV/AIDS awareness month, the Ministry of Communications donated 30 computers to four institutions that work with this public in Brasilia and Sao Paulo. The delivery was made within the scope of the Computers for Inclusion program.
This initiative is in line with the Ministry of Communications commitment to digital inclusion as a tool for promoting human dignity, confronting inequalities and supporting groups in situations of social vulnerability. By considering organizations that work with people living with HIV, the Ministry reinforces the perspective of rights, acceptance and citizenship that guides Red December, highlights minister Frederico de Siqueira Filho.
One of the recipients in Brasilia was the Instituto Vida Positiva, which received five computers that will help both in the administrative part and will serve as instruments for courses that will be offered to those assisted from February 2026.
Vick Tavares - Instituto Vidas Positivas
Today I am having a very happy day, receiving computers from MCom that will greatly advance our work. The young people in our house need to enter the job market and, to do so, they need qualifications, and these computers will make all the difference, celebrated the president of the Institute, Vick Tavares.
The entity, in addition to assisting young people with HIV, also serves people in vulnerable situations, offering meals and basic food baskets. According to the institution, computers will also be able to help them access benefits that are only possible through the internet, such as registering for social programs.
Also in Brasilia, the Seropositive Support Group Association - GAS DF benefited from five computers. The organization works with prevention, health promotion and combating stigma, through activities such as lectures, training and coordination with the public and social health network to guarantee rights and quality of life.
Twenty pieces of equipment for Sao Paulo
Another 20 computers were delivered to Grupo Pela Vidda and Instituto Cultural e Social Eu Sou do Axe-SP. They will contribute to monitoring services, expanding communication with the public served, supporting the implementation of educational and training activities and strengthening the governance of entities, contributing to the development of projects, accountability and fundraising.
This laboratory represents much more than these computers. It is a recognition of all your work. And that not only computers, but other policies reach here, noted the executive secretary of the Ministry of Communications, Sonia Faustino, who delivered the equipment to Grupo Pela Vidda.
The head of the Social Participation and Diversity Advisory, Ludymilla Chagas, highlighted the importance of looking at social aspects when talking about digital inclusion, since it is also social inclusion.
May these computers be not only the guarantee of a dream, but of a good job, of a college, of fun. There is no way to think about digital transformation if it is not from several hands, several colors, several religions, he said.
The groups project coordinator, Allan Bastos, thanked the donation and praised the speed with which it was responded to. I got in touch, made the request and MCom soon responded to us, embraced the idea, and that makes us happy, as daily work on the cause is difficult, but things like this make us see that it is worth it, he highlighted.
Program
The Computers for Inclusion Program aims to support and enable initiatives to promote digital inclusion through Computer Reconditioning Centers (CRC) -- physical spaces adapted for the reconditioning of electronic equipment, for holding courses and workshops, and for the correct disposal of electronic waste.
Throughout the entire program, almost 67 thousand computers have already been donated to 1.3 thousand municipalities. In 2025 alone, almost 11 thousand pieces of equipment were donated.
