How KDE made IT classes for underprivileged youths possible in Providence

KDE has been working with the Capeverdean American Community Development (CACD) of Providence, Rhode Island, to provide IT lessons to underprivileged teens.

    So we also managed to avoid having all those machines ending up in landfills, polluting the soil and waterways because providers of proprietary OSes only want you to buy new stuff and ignore the impact on the environment.

      To make more things like this happen, to help those that the IT industry left behind or consider mere fodder for the data-grinding machine, to return control over technology to the common people, and protect the environment, we need your help.
