Vicky Ford, Minister for Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, visited an Edinburgh-based charity that refurbishes old computers donated by the Brits and sends them to schools in an African country.
The Turing Trust, an Edinburgh charity run by the family of legendary codebreaker and mathematician Alan Turing, was launched in 2015 and has since refurbished over 9,200 PCs. Their work enabled over 81,000 students across Africa to learn how to use computers and benefit from that knowledge.
Visiting the charity today, February 16, Minister Ford said: "The UK Government is proud to help The Turing Trust build on the outstanding legacy of Alan Turing, by giving thousands of children in Malawi their first access to computer technology.
