What is Share-IT?

The mandate of Share-IT program is to collect obsolete/discarded/unused computers and peripherals from household and business storages to distribute the reusable equipments to newcomers and low-income families. Unusable equipments and components are recycled in an environmentally safe way ensuring 100% diversion from landfills. By making one's waste another's resource, the Share-IT program aims to strengthen resource conservation and community sustainability.

As its broader goal, the program intends to bridge the digital divide between the information rich and information poor in our society, and allow all sectors of our community to have equal access to the benefits of the Information Age.
