Google Donates Millions to Help Refugees Get Online
Found on Wired on Monday, 25 January 2016
Today, the tech giant announced it’s donating $5.3 million to give refugees in Germany access to Chromebooks.
Instead of providing Chromebooks to individuals, Project Reconnect is working with non-profits, which can use the devices to build Internet cafes and organize educational events for children.
Maybe (just maybe) it would make much more sense to invest the money where it is really needed: and that is in the countries surrounding the war zones, where food, water, shelter and medical support is by far more important than Internet access.
