What are the benefits of the project ?
It is reconditioned, therefore quality material but more ecological and at a low price, therefore more accessible, especially since it is in priority proposed to the various CPAS of the partnership.
What were the constraints faced by the company ?
There were no real constraints, as agreements had been established with almost all the CPAS in Wallonia and Brussels.
Which advice would give to another company ?
It's an obstacle course.
What are the next steps?
Continue what we do. Our goal is still to make access to the internet possible, make the equipment accessible, and train people in the computer business.
