The alleviation of
poverty through the
use of technology
As new technologies emerge and spread through society, they become part of the basic fabric of life - and lack of access to them becomes a major source of poverty. For example, the telephone is now a necessity, not a luxury - if you don't have your own telephone number, how do you contact family, potential employers, carers?
Tech4all is working to evaluate and implement projects that address this problem, and deliver real and clear benefits for people who risk being marginalised by lack of access to these key technologies.
Tech4all believe that technology should be used pro-actively to tackle poverty, to reduce isolation and improve quality of life. Our Voicemail4all service has already helped over 1000 homeless people. Our Transport4all project shows how secure and convenient transport can be made available to all.
