ERA Donates Electronics to CanAfro Research Institute in Waterloo, ON
The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to announce a meaningful donation to CanAfro Research Institute, a non-profit organization based in Waterloo, Ontario. This donation includes a laptop, a printer, and a projector—essential tools that will directly support CanAfro’s groundbreaking research initiatives and upcoming mentorship programs.
Supporting Equity Through Technology
As an organization committed to fostering innovation and inclusivity, CanAfro Research Institute plays a critical role in promoting research and advocacy within Black and underrepresented communities across the Kitchener-Waterloo region. With a strong focus on mentorship, education, and empowerment, CanAfro is preparing to launch a training and mentorship program.
This initiative aims to equip youth with hands-on skills and access to technology—starting with the ability to use high-performance laptops during their training. ERA’s donation helps bridge the digital divide and ensures participants have access to the tools they need to succeed.
ERA’s Commitment to Community Impact
At ERA, our mission is twofold: diverting unwanted electronics from landfills and repurposing them to support Canadian communities. Every donation we make reflects our belief that access to technology should never be a barrier to opportunity. By contributing to CanAfro’s mission, we are helping amplify underrepresented voices and providing the resources needed to create lasting, positive change.
Why Donations Matter
Like many non-profits, CanAfro Research Institute relies heavily on research grants to fund its programs and services. High-quality electronics are often out of reach due to limited budgets—but they are vital for research, administration, and training purposes. This is why ERA’s donation matters: it directly supports CanAfro’s ability to deliver impactful services and empower the next generation of leaders.
Join Our Movement
ERA is calling on Canadian individuals and businesses to consider donating their unwanted electronics. Every device you give has the potential to change a life, support a cause, or power a dream.
