Camara is a registered Irish Charity supported by the Irish Government and by charitable donations. The volunteer organisation is dedicated to using technology to deliver education more effectively to disadvantaged communities in Africa and Ireland. Camara takes in used computers from Irish companies and individuals, wiping their hard drives of data (in line with US Department of Defence standards), refurbishing and loading them with educational software before setting them up as Learning Centres in schools in Africa and Ireland. Camara trains teachers to use these computers as tools to improve the delivery of education to their students. They also produce computer training and educational multimedia materials for use by teachers and children.
Camara works in seven African countries – Zambia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Kenya, Lesotho, Tanzania, and Uganda and have set up local Technology Hubs that act as partners in delivering the Camara educational model directly to schools. Camara have recently set-up an Irish schools programme that provides technology and training to schools in disadvantaged Irish communities
Camara’s European headquarters is in the Digital Hub, Dublin with their African headquarters is in Kampala, Uganda.
