Vision Statement
A world where even the poorest have access to quality education.
Mission Statement
Camara is a volunteer organisation dedicated to using technology to deliver education more effectively to disadvantaged communities in Africa, Ireland and Jamaica.
What We Do
Camara operates as a social enterprise and operates in two distinct business lines: ‘Education Delivery’ and ‘Computer Reuse’. The connection between these two, seemingly disparate activities is TECHNOLOGY.
We take in used computers from Irish companies and individuals, wipe their hard drives of data (in line with US Department of Defense standards), refurbish and load them with educational software before setting them up as Learning Centres in schools in Africa and Ireland.
We train teachers to use these computers as tools to improve the delivery of education to their students.
We produce computer training and educational multimedia materials for use by teachers and children.
Where We Work
We work in six countries – Zambia, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Kenya, Lesotho, Uganda. We also work in Jamaica. We have set up local Education Hubs that act as partners in delivering the Camara educational model directly to schools. Camara’s European Centre is in Chapelizod Industrial Estate, Dublin and our African Service Centre is in Mombasa, Kenya.
What we believe
Camara is a West African word that means “one who teaches with experience.” We are driven by two core beliefs: 1) Education is the key for people to break the cycle of poverty they find themselves in; and 2) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can be harnessed to revolutionize the way world class education is delivered to disadvantaged communities.
