  • Dearest Partners,

    At least 5 Mio computers are abandoned in China every year and most of them will be dismantled in a very rough way. Meanwhile more than 50 million rural students in China have no access to computers.

    Founded in March 2013, Netspring Social Enterprise is turning three years old. Our vision is to turn e-waste into education:  many obsolete computers are still in a good condition and could be reused after appropriate repair. At the same time, we hope to become a successful social enterprise to enable stakeholders to participate in solving society’s problems through a feasible business model.

    To achieve this vision, our “Green IT Classrooms” project includes the following missions:

    1. To promote environmental protection, as well equal opportunities in education and the concept of social enterprises: Social Wellness for All, Environmental Protection by All.

  • Thanks for your support, we are improving everyday!

    Netspring Social Enterprise established in 2012, in the past 2 years our program has become more and more mature.
    - More efficient Green IT Classrooms by a new team member who is focusd on supporting volunteering and school teachers by developing course ware;
    - More qualified Green IT Classrooms by professional refurbishment team with 3 years technical support;
    - More environment friendly with 2 licensed eco-recycling partners. We not only give a new life to obsolete computers but also eco-recycle them after 3 years.
