Refurbishing used computers, and providing affordable I.T. facilities for members of one of the most disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Leeds. We acquire donated or cheap computers, refurbish them, and make them available for members of the public to buy cheaply, or use them for free in our premises. We also aim to provide training in I.T. skills, free internet access for the local community and volunteering opportunities in computer skills to enable people prepare for employment.
Why the community needs usKaba makes IT accessible to local people. It does this in a number of ways. Kaba supply and maintain PCs (recycled from local organisations) at affordable rates via its shop. Kaba teaches local people, students, and volunteers how to both build and repair PCs and use software to a high standard (We are extremely proud that a number of them are now employed within the IT industry). Kaba also provides the community with a Web Cafe - currently the only available in the locality.
