Dell E-lab supports Children's Joy Foundation

Dell Philippines, the leader in innovative technology and services continues its mission in bringing technology to the very least of individuals who cannot afford to access the knowledge on the latest information technology. They provide grant funding and services to the students of Children’s Joy Foundation, a half way facility that houses neglected, abandoned and surrendered children. 

The foundation provides support to undeserved children through educational assistance by sending them to school and providing all their school needs. On top of these benefits, they also provide computer literacy program that is being offered in the center, through the generous contribution of Dell Philippines. 

Last September 19, 2013, Dell announced the launching of the Dell E-lab installed at the Foundation’s center in Quezon City. It is composed of Dell desk-top computer equipped with internet access and basic software where students can learn to do research using the power of the computer. Dell even extends its generosity by providing literacy services where Dell employees volunteer their hours on a tutorial one-on-one classes with the children.

“The Children’s Joy Foundation would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Dell Philippines for choosing us to be a recipient of the Dell Powering the Possible grant.
