RIYADH: Saudia Airline has contributed to an initiative to collect and distribute second-hand computers to needy families, state-run SPA reported on Sunday.
The initiative, entitled “Technology Giving” by Awontech Association, “aims to collect used computers, maintain, rehabilitate and configure them, and then distribute them to beneficiaries from needy families, to enable them to use them in various fields,” the statement said.
The national carrier said it handed several computers and tablets to the association, as part of the social responsibility programs that Awontech pays special attention to in its national role toward supporting any initiative that has a positive impact on the country and society.
Saudia said it has been providing this initiative specifically over the past years with many licensed charities, especially since it has a specialized sector in information technology that prepares used devices for use by the beneficiaries.
Through this, Saudia aims to revive the spirit of solidarity, cooperation and community partnership, the statement added.
