Bridging the Digital Divide

Bridging The Digital Divide (BDD) is a nonprofit organization created to enhance the academic and technology skills of our nation's youth and adults, thereby bridging academic, economic and social divides that exist throughout our communities. The strategy is to provide every American Family in spite of their income, with a computer with broadband Internet accessibility in their home. 

To accomplish this mission, BDD partners with businesses that donate their used computers. BDD rebuilds these units, installs software programs, and recycles the computers by placing them with organizations that work with children, the elderly, physically challenged and low-income families.   As a result, their education is enhanced through the use of computer technology and educational software. http://www.bddhouston.org/
