Our Impact

We have trained more than 35,000 people and distributed more than 22,500 new computers to graduates.

Does it make a difference?

That’s the fundamental question that we, and everyone involved with Tech Goes Home wants answered. A compelling photo is inspiring; big numbers—thousands of people served, and thousands of courses held—are impressive. But the fundamental question is “Does it make a difference?”

The answer is a resounding “yes.”
