About Camara Ireland

Camara Ireland: Empowering Communities through Technology

Camara Ireland is a non-profit organization that aims to empower communities in Ireland and Africa through technology. Founded in 2005, Camara has been providing access to digital education and computer literacy programs to underprivileged communities.

The Digital Hub, where Camara is based, is a leading cluster of technology and digital media companies in Ireland. It provides space for indigenous enterprises to scale and grow. The hub has become a thriving ecosystem for innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

Camara's mission is to bridge the digital divide by providing access to technology and education. The organization collects used computers from individuals and businesses across Ireland, refurbishes them with open-source software, and distributes them to schools in disadvantaged areas.

Through its e-learning platform, Camara delivers training programs on computer literacy skills such as coding, web design, graphic design, video editing among others. These programs are designed for teachers who can then pass on the knowledge gained from these courses onto their students.

In addition to its work in Ireland, Camara also operates in several African countries including Kenya Uganda Tanzania Zambia Ethiopia Rwanda Ghana Liberia Sierra Leone Malawi South Africa Zimbabwe Nigeria Cameroon Senegal Togo Benin Burkina Faso Ivory Coast Guinea Bissau Mali Niger Chad Congo DRC Congo Brazzaville Madagascar Mozambique Namibia Angola Cape Verde Eritrea Somalia Sudan Swaziland Lesotho Mauritius Seychelles Comoros Djibouti Equatorial Guinea Gabon Sao Tome & Principe.

In these countries where access to technology is limited or non-existent at all levels of society especially rural areas; Camara provides refurbished computers loaded with educational content that are distributed through schools or community centers. This approach ensures that children have access not only to hardware but also software that can help them learn better.

Camara's impact has been significant over the years since it was founded; it has provided over 100000 refurbished computers globally which have impacted over 3 million learners worldwide directly or indirectly through teacher training programmes delivered by our team of trainers who work tirelessly across our network of partners globally.

The organization's efforts have not gone unnoticed as it has received numerous awards including Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Impact Award (2010), Arthur Guinness Fund (2011), Google Global Impact Challenge (2013), Irish Times Innovation Award (2014) among others which recognize its contribution towards bridging the digital divide both locally & internationally.
