Thanks to your support, we've met our original goal for the $10kforTech campaign! Now, we're increasing our fundraising goal to $15,000, which will enable us to also purchase 20 wirelessly connected tablets with 1 year of unlimited mobile data to help our students connect to online classes.

Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed thus far! With your help, we've been able to purchase 80 Chromebooks for our students, Zoom licenses for online ESOL classes, two new outdoor wifi transmitters, and online educational software for our high school equivalency and adult literacy students. Please help us get more students online so that they can continue their studies remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Donate now at https://www.durhamliteracy.org/donate-10kfortech.
