MACO (Medical Awareness Camp Outreach) has launched the Computer Literacy project to provide restored and refurbished computers on a loan basis to students for online classes during the recovery movement control order (RMCO).

It said on Facebook that its volunteer tech team can “bring to life” old computers running on Windows, and open source operating systems like Chrome OS and Lubuntu OS.

The NGO is also asking for peripherals like a mouse and a webcam for desktop computers that don't come with them.
