  • 2014 Activities Report: Turning hardships into opportunities!

    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.
