Mission

Our goal is to supply computer technology and the Internet to the most underserved on the planet; To address the need for information and computer knowledge that is being demanded all over Africa, through the re-use of some of the twenty million obsolete computers that the United States disposes each year, and provide training seminars to thousands of school-age children yearning for this knowledge.

Programs

Other activities that the organization is involved with is getting the word out about the program; one of our accomplishments is the design of a public service announcement that will be published by TIME magazine, on a space available basis, sometime in 2003. We have also designed a preliminary website (gsfa.us), which will be updated in the coming months, with recent photos of beneficiaries, letters from participating schools, as well as photos of volunteers of the program.
