Wellesley Rotary Club speaker transforms discarded tech into valuable resources

David Kieser, program manager for non-profit Computers 4 People, is the guest speaker at the next Rotary Club of Wellesley meeting on Sept. 24, in the Wakelin Room at the Wellesley Free Library’s main branch at 550 Washington Street, Wellesley. The meeting begins at 6:30pm and the guest speaker will begin around 7pm.

Computers 4 People Inc. was founded in 2019 by then 15-year-old Dylan Zajac in Hoboken, NJ. The non-profit was founded with a dual purpose: addressing the alarming issue of e-waste pollution and bridging the expanding gap in digital accessibility. Dylan’s forward-looking approach aimed at creating a sustainable solution to the environmental woes posed by discarded electronics, while also tackling the pressing challenge of the digital divide.

Over the years, Computers for People has blossomed into a leading force in its domain, making significant strides in narrowing the digital divide across regions like New Jersey, New York City, and Massachusetts. Through its tireless efforts, this organization has not only transformed discarded technology into valuable resources but has also transformed lives by providing equal access to the digital realm for all.
