Last Holiday Season, Arrow Electronics Raised an Additional Fund For Orphans In Africa
Dailycsr.com – 31 January 2017 – Over “$8,000” of donation has been made by Arrow Electronics in the last holiday season, whereby the said amounts were transferred to the “Arrow Scholars Fund”, the latter is a scholarship schedule that was started by the employees of Arrow for the Tuleeni Orphanage student’s benefit in Africa.
Tuleeni shelters over hundred children and extends its protection to “vulnerable children living in the village of Rau, in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania”. In the year of 2015, the employees of Arrow donated “scholarship support” to five children of that area. Arrow Electronics informed that:
“The additional funds raised over the 2016 holiday season will enable these same children to continue in their studies, as well as access the orphanage’s educational resources”.
Arrow DigiTruck is the reason behind the success of this programme. It is a “novel” take on “delivering access to today’s technology”. Arrow along with “Close the Gap convert”, a non-profit partner, in collaboration with “Neema International” took “cargo containers” in “fully equipped, insulated, secure classrooms and health clinics”. The DigiTruck runs of solar powers for “days at a time”, therefore it can access remote areas without electricity.
Moreover, Arrow’s contribution to the students at Tuleeni also includes “internet access, laptops, tablets and other devices”, all “refurbished by Arrow’s value recovery business”. The employees of Arrow, on the other hand, raised more than “$4,000”, while the CSR team at Arrow “worked to secure a corporate match for the funds”. The Director of Global CSR at Arrow, Joe Verrengia, said:
“Arrow provides a full spectrum of technology solutions, and that approach is reflected in our humanitarian work. After we built and deployed the Digituck to Tuleeni, Arrow businesses around the world donated refurnished tablets, internet service, playground equipment and scholarship money. Together, we’re working to provide the children of Tuleeni with a comprehensive program that enables them to dream big and become tomorrow’s innovators.”
