At E2D, we believe that digital equity is a necessity for everyone. As we continue to support those impacted by the disaster in Western North Carolina, we are reminded that community connection and support are everything. Throughout Digital Inclusion Week, we’ve been reminded of the importance of access to technology for every family, student, and individual in our city. We’re proud of the strides we’ve made, but there’s still more work to be done! This is a collaborative effort. We depend on our local leaders to support and advocate for our work, which you will see in the letter from Mayor Vi Lyles A huge thank you to our partners, supporters, and the community for rallying behind the mission to ensure EVERYONE is connected. Let’s keep this momentum going! #DigitalInclusionWeek #DigitalEquity #E2D

Talent is everywhere...opportunity is not. E2D is solving the digital divide, one laptop at a time.
关于我们
We are a non-profit organization creating solutions to provide home-based digital access to all public school children, effectively eliminating "the digital divide." E2D is sourcing cost-efficient computer hardware/software/bandwidth and placing computers into homes of families that have no or substandard access to digital technology. E2D is also subsidizing these costs through fundraising.

North Carolina Technology Association (NC TECH) (Brooks Raiford) and Kramden Institute's 3rd Annual Device Drive was a huge success with 110 drop-offs and 7 full pallets of donations. Special guests attended including N.C. Department of Information Technology Secretary Jim Weaver, who provided a updated briefing on the work being done in #WNC to restore communications networks, NC Senator Jay Chaudhuri, NC Rep Zack Hawkins, and S.G. Pat Miller E2D - Eliminate the Digital Divide. Donations are needed more than ever as we look to the coming weeks of recovery and rebuilding in WNC. Many families lost everything and Kramden and E2D need to start now to ensure those families and students have computers to begin rebuilding their lives. #Helene Event video: https://lnkd.in/exjZ4393

Throughout the week,?CDE members and volunteers have been working hand-in-hand with local organizations to help those affected by hurricane #Helene. One of the biggest impacts the storm had was on connectivity. Thousands do not have access to devices or reliable internet—both are needed to communicate with loved ones connect with critical resources, like FEMA assistance. To that end, we are: ? deploying iPads preloaded with FEMA and other support resources (to date, 203 have been deployed to the High Country Council of Governments and to Land of Sky Regional Council) ? actively requesting laptop donations through E2D - Eliminate the Digital Divide Connect with us if you want to help, too. #Connections #FEMA #Helene

Yesterday S.G. Pat Millen of E2D - Eliminate the Digital Divide contacted Crescent Communities to see if we had any laptops to retire/donate. Today I dropped off 24 good condition laptops. These will be refurbished and distributed to those most affected by the hurricane. I hope other organizations can also help out. Over the years we have donated about 240 laptops.

Over the next few months, the demand for computers will be critical to ensuring students and families stay connected and access vital resources.
