World Water Day, observed annually on 22 March, raises awareness about the importance of freshwater and advocates for sustainable water management. This year, the theme focuses on glacier preservation, highlighting the urgent need to protect glaciers as their rapid melting threatens water security, ecosystems, and livelihoods.At Camara Education, we recognise that our digital practices impact water resources. Manufacturing a single laptop can consume approximately 190,000 litres of water. By refurbishing and donating computers, we not only extend their lifespan but also significantly reduce the water footprint associated with producing new devices. This approach conserves water and supports our mission to provide quality education through technology.On World Water Day, we reaffirm our commitment to environmental sustainability by promoting the reuse of digital devices, thereby preserving both water and educational opportunities. This is why we’re asking businesses to get in touch with us if you have any used computers that could be donated. Ensure you comply with your company’s sustainability goals by helping us reduce e-waste and conserve valuable resources. ... See MoreSee Less

Highlight of the Visit to St. John Baptist, Dr. Haddis Alemayehu, and Assai Public Schools – October 2024In October 2024, key members from Camara Education (CE) and Camara Education Ethiopia (CEE) made an important visit to three schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, supported by Dell. Anita McWilliams, Director of African Operations, Ibolya Nemeth, Director of Fundraising, and Mikiyas W, CEE's Country Director, visited St. John Baptist, Dr. Haddis Alemayehu, and Assai Public School. The purpose of the visit was to witness the profound impact of the Dell Technologies supported Digital Learning Centres on these schools.At St. John Baptist, Anita, Ibolya, and the CEE team were warmly welcomed by the school’s director, teachers, and students, who were eager to share their experiences. The Digital Learning Centre has transformed the learning environment, offering students access to interactive activities, digital books, and curriculum-aligned resources. This has not only enhanced their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities but has also sparked an increased engagement among students, including those who had previously been disengaged. Teachers observed that technology made it easier to cater to individual learning needs, allowing students to progress at their own pace and receive support where required.A similar success story unfolded at Assai Public School. Here, the Digital Learning Centre has had a significant impact, encouraging students to participate in group projects and digital assignments. These activities have fostered teamwork and enhanced students' technological skills. Teachers have benefited from a wealth of online resources, which have supported their lesson planning and made it easier to address the diverse needs of their students. Both teachers and students were enthusiastic about the innovative learning environment, with Ibolya and Anita particularly impressed by how technology had not only contributed to academic progress but also nurtured valuable soft skills like collaboration, communication, and digital literacy.Read the full story and the student impacts here: hubs.ly/Q03cgzmX0 ...

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🍀Did you know that Camara Education was founded in Dublin, Ireland, by Cormac Lynch in 2005? Inspired by a trip to Ethiopia during his MSc project on International Development, Cormac saw firsthand the powerful impact technology could have on education. His vision to empower students through digital learning has since expanded across Africa. On this St. Patrick’s Day, we celebrate the Irish spirit of innovation, community, and making a difference. Here’s to continuing to connect the world through technology and education, just as Cormac’s vision grew from Ireland to empower students in Africa.#StPatricksDay #CamaraEducation #TechForGood #Innovation #DigitalLearning #IrelandToAfrica #GlobalImpact #EmpowerThroughTech ...
