Charitable: Buyequip supplied the School of St Jude in Tanzania with computers as new technology is often unaffordable. Buyequip recently donated a computer package and an all-in-one printer/scanner/photocopier to the YWCA Solomon Islands.
YWCA Progam Advisor, Kiri Dicker, wrote to Buyequip to extend her gratitude and also noted how a small contribution can make a big difference in regions such as these.
Hi Buyequip,
Hi Buyequip,
I just wanted to say thank you to you and your colleagues for donating a multi function printer and computer package to the YWCA Munda in the Solomon Islands!
Munda is located in a very rural area in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands, the only options for travel are a two hour flight by small plane or a 10 hour boat trip. The YWCA is one of the only NGO's operating in the area and has a huge potential to improve the lives of women and girls in the Munda area.
Until now the YWCA has only operated a Kindergarten but now we have a computer and printer we can re-open the office and begin running programs for women and girls in the area. The YWCA operates non-for-profit (in fact, we operate at a loss) and we could never normally afford to buy a printer and computer, in fact the staff member in Munda's salary is about $100AUD per fortnight (much more than most people earn) so you can see that Australian dollars go a long way in the Solomon Islands.
The printer will also be used to create revenue for the YWCA as there are virtually no other printer services in the town (those that exist are very expensive so people don't have the opportunity to print out letters, CVs etc.)
Thanks again from the YWCA team, your donation in much appreciated!
Kind regards,
Kiri Dicker
