The Marine Reach Ship the Pacific Link will be distributing 50 donated computers through the islands of Vanuatu. Some of the desktop computers that were donated will be part of a training and medical centre that is being built on the main island, Efate, near Port Vila.
The centre will provide training and medical care to men, women, and children. The primary focus of the centre will be victims of domestic violence, with one of the offered courses being a three-month computer science course to introduce them to the basics of computers.
The donated laptops will be distributed to schools on the Torres and Bank Islands in the upper islands. They have all had the contents of Wikipedia downloaded on to them. which will be beneficial because internet access in the nation was extremely scarce.
