Computers for schools

The Cape Green Project , in collaboration with the Dutch IT company 1A First Alternative and Mundo Crastino Meliori, places computers in rural schools on the Cape Verde islands, specifically in the Tarrafal district on the main island of Santiago, where the foundation works with the municipality.1A First Alternative already has experience with this process in Ghana.

Where possible, computers are placed not only in schools but also in the local community centre for access by the whole community. This enables the community to connect to the rest of the world by Internet, and also enables pupils at the schools to know how to work with computers, so they can further their careers. We have placed five computers in the school of Achada Tenda.We have also placed five computers at a local school, Liceu de Chao Bom. In 2026, we placed 10 computers in the library of Tarrafal town for excess by the general public but specifically also for the pupils of the secondary school across the road. We also fixed up the community centre in the village of Fazenda and placed a set of computers there.

The computers are supplied free of charge by 1A First Alternative but the transport from the Netherlands and the clearance at the port in Cape Verde has to be paid for. We also have to pay a technician for the maintenance of the computers and we need to pay for the Internet. Therefore we are looking for sponsors! With any gift you can sponsor the computer project connect hundreds of schoolchildren and other inhabitants to the Internet and the world.
