Helix Health now donates all of the company’s used laptops, desktops (with their hard drives securely removed and destroyed) and other IT equipment to the charity Camara. Camara is a registered Irish charity, founded in 2005, which uses Irish technological resources to equip schools in Africa with refurbished computers, educational software and IT training.  

The charity takes in used computers from Irish companies and individuals. They then refurbish these used computers with the relevant hardware and software and ship them to schools and colleges in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, teams of volunteers are sent to train African teachers in basic computer literacy as well as in more specialised software.  

At Helix we are continually striving to improve and reduce the impact of our company with regards to recycling and waste management. We are delighted to be part of this worthy charity which not only provides a valuable PC recycling service but truly makes a difference to the lives of those in Sub-Saharan Africa.
