The Digital School, part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives, has distributed over 1,500 refurbished laptops and tablets to underprivileged pupils in the UAE for the new school year. The initiative, called The Giving and Hope Back-to-School Campaign, aims to provide technology to low-income families, orphans, and other vulnerable groups.
The devices, including 48 laptops and 1,085 tablets, were donated by various institutions and organizations in the UAE and then restored to technical standards, transforming them into valuable educational tools. The Digital School offers end-to-end digital education for underserved and marginalized learners, combining accredited certification, digital platforms, and localized curriculums.
The project, which reduces electronic waste by extending the lifespan of used devices, has set a target of collecting 100,000 used electronic devices in its second Donate Your Device campaign.
