Empowering Marginalized Individuals Through Education to Become Impact-Driven Leaders

At TERC, we are dedicated to empowering marginalized citizens to develop a growth-oriented mindset by exposing them to new technologies and resources to achieve self-sufficiency.

• Computer Access: TERC distributes and refurbishes both new and previously owned computers. These computers are provided to local residents who cannot afford them, bridging the digital divide and enabling access to essential tools for learning and professional growth.

• Digital Literacy: Our Digital Literacy program equips participants with the essential skills needed to thrive in today’s technology-driven world, fostering confidence and competence in digital environments.

• IT Certification: Through our IT Certification program, we offer comprehensive training and preparation for industry-recognized certifications across various IT domains, helping participants build credible credentials and advance their careers.

By combining access to technology, skill development, and professional certification, TERC creates pathways for individuals to become informed, capable, and impact-driven leaders in their communities. 

Our Fundraising Goal

We are raising funds to  purchase 75 computers for individuals who need reliable technology to attend online classes, run their businesses, and stay productive in their daily lives. Your support will help us:

• Provide free technology training for students and adults

• Support research in ethical and inclusive technology development

• Purchase and distribute refurbished computers to marginalized communities

• Offer scholarships to underrepresented groups pursuing careers in tech

• Host community learning events, innovation workshops, and skill-building sessions

Together, we can empower more people with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.
