HELP US TO DIGITALLY INCLUDE REFUGEES
Screen Share’s mission is to ensure every refugee in the UK has access to a connected digital device and the skills to use it to achieve their goals.
Digital inclusion improves education, employment, language and wellbeing outcomes. It facilitates access to support services and information. It fosters agency and independence and allows refugees to build their futures on their own terms.
We provide laptops, smartphones, internet connectivity, digital skills training and laptop repair training to those seeking sanctuary.
We are proud to be doing this work, sharing skills and devices with people so that they can reach their potential and live happier lives.
Screen Share exists to support, inform and advocate for digital inclusion for refugees in the UK. By making a donation, you do too! If you have any questions about your donation or want to know where our greatest need is at a particular moment, just drop us an email. We'd love to hear from you.
If you want to make a large donation, please contact Moses at Moses@screen-share.co.uk and we can work out how your support can be most impactful.
JOEL’S STORY
Growing up, I spent my formative years Nigeria. I organised Nigeria's first LGBTQ+ pride protest and became a person of interest, hence why I fled to the UK.
I unfortunately got attacked by a homophobic housemate, which led to the devastating loss of my PC at the time, whilst being faced with sudden homelessness.
When the digital rug is pulled out from under your feet, you realise how disempowering it can be: walking to a cafe or local library and trying to do as much a possible within paid time, or feeling crushed when there are no available PCs. From working on assignments and staying in education, writing proposals, working on presentations, and even seeing a movie, the list is endless.
Upskilling in today’s digital age is near impossible without (the right) tech, and as a refugee, we have to get with the programme or be left behind. Embarking on reinventing oneself without tech is almost a fool's journey.
Supporting Screen Share is a no-brainer; it is a lifeline for the digital crisis a lot of us face.
