My Project
I am a teacher in East New York, where our students face significant financial challenges, with many living in public housing. Despite these obstacles, they are eager to learn and achieve their potential.
Access to computers is essential for fostering digital literacy, enhancing learning opportunities, and preparing students for the modern world.
Unfortunately, our school lacks the funding to provide this vital resource.
With your support, we can bridge the digital divide and empower our students to explore, innovate, and succeed academically and beyond. Your generosity towards these computers would truly transform their educational experience and future opportunities.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
