In today’s modern world, most of us take for granted the presence of a computer in our homes. But the fact is that not everyone is so fortunate.
Not having a computer these days is on par with illiteracy in days past. BC Digital Divide’s mission is to provide computers to those who would otherwise not be able to afford one. For those who can’t, it makes a world of difference; even more so for students and job-seekers.
