Attention to the environment at TIM also includes the recovery of unused company assets such as furniture and computers, knowing that things we no longer need can be assets for other communities. Responsible consumption of resources guides us in our choices and activities, giving rise to circular economy initiatives such as those towards non-profit organisations.
Since the beginning of the year, some 400 company computers have been donated through ELIS - a non-profit organisation that trains people to work, with particular attention to the socially and economically disadvantaged - to various associations operating in developing countries, including Burundi, Madagascar and Tanzania.
And specifically in Tanzania, after the donations made in recent months that distributed more than 200 PCs for schools and hospitals in the cities of Bukoba, Morogoro and Rukwa, more PCs are about to arrive through the ELIS E-Tanzania project and they will be donated to the St. John Paul II school in the city of Kitanewa. Here, a team of ELIS volunteers will train students and teachers so that they will be able to pass exams on basic computer skills but also to learn video-editing and how to use photography tools. Concrete help in a country where access to technology is still very limited and which meets the sustainable development goals dictated by the 2023 Agenda.
