Charity delivers milestone computer to Ethiopia

ADVERTISEMENT

Adane Semaw, a 24-year-old Ethiopian, is the recipient of the 100,000th PC to be delivered by charity Computer Aid International.

Semaw, who has been wheelchair-bound since he was one, runs a roadside DVD rental business near Addis Ababa. Last October, he set up The Wheelchair Association of Ethiopia to help local people with disabilities to find education, and to campaign for the donation of free wheelchairs.

The PC, a refurbished system previously owned by the National Gallery in London, will be used to write to the government and potential donors, says Semaw.

The equipment was presented last month by Computer Aid founder Tony Roberts and East Africa programme officer Benjamin Makai.
