Welcome to the Computers in Homes project homepage!
Introduction to the CIH project:
Computers In Homes is the brainchild of the 2020 Communications Trust, which aims to provide access to ICT and the Internet to all families in Aotearoa New Zealand - please visit the 2020 Website for further details.
The Computers In Homes project (CIH) aims to support low income communities to use ICT to strengthen their education. It is very much about what ICT can do to for family opportunity rather than a hardware dump or the learning of computer skills for their own sake.
The project works via low decile schools to help families in greatest need to use the Internet, e-mail and basic computer skills in their daily lives to enhance their performance at school and at work. Training for parents is provided at their children's school and this must be completed before the refurbished computer is taken home to the family.
Get Started!
The Complete Resource for running a Computers in Homes Project in your School or Community.
If you are interested in requesting more information and potentially introducing your school or community to the Computers in Homes programme, our Starter Pack is designed to guide you through the steps and processes involved in running a successful CIH project in your community.
For refugee communities, we have a separate Starter Pack, tailored to the needs of CIH projects for refugee children and their families. If you would like more information about running a Refugee CIH project, please contact us rather than submitting our online request form.
For parents and individuals with a general interest in the programme, we suggest you initially request an Info Guide, which provides a more concise overview of the CIH concept - our Starter Pack is more of an implementation guidebook for project champions and steering committees.
