Dell has joined the
advocacy of Children’s Joy Foundation, Inc. (CJFI), an NGO that provides
temporary care for children and youth needing rehabilitative and developmental
services. The foundation seeks to assist the neglected, abandoned and
surrendered children and youth in achieving their dreams through better
education, physical and spiritual nourishment.
CJFI will receive a Dell Powering the Possible grant that will
facilitate its aim to empower youth through education and computer literacy and
help end the learning gap among unfortunate children.
The grant will enable CJFI to set-up
computer labs with Dell desktops to provide basic computer literacy and other
digital applications classes to at least 1,210 children and youth sheltered
at the Children’s Joy Residential Centers,
as well as from the marginalized communities served by the foundation through its
outreach program.
This will provide opportunities to
youth in marginalized communities who have the eagerness, interest and aptitude
but are limited by circumstances and resources to fulfill their passions.
Dell have set up a few computer labs at
CJFI centers in the Philippines and Quezon City and hopes to bring the benefits
of the program to even more children over time. Dell Giving program targets
foundations focused on youth learning, children cancer, disaster relief and
social entrepreneurship. Dell contributes one percent of its after-tax profits
to non-profit organizations doing work in the communities where our employees
and customers live and work.”
