Who we are

About Camara Education

Camara is a dynamic charity that uses technology to improve education in Africa. Started 14 years ago Camara is now at the forefront of delivering Technology-enhanced Learning (TeL) to some of the poorest people in the world. It does this by installing computer labs in schools and colleges in Sub-Saharan Africa and by training the teachers how to use these computers as educational tools.
