TechCane, a sub project of TechReuse, aims to provide technical assistance to people living with disabilities: the blind and visually impaired.

TechCane is a project led by CompuCorps that will put 10,000 laptop computers into the hands of Canada’s blind and visually impaired community, helping over 600 thousands Canadians, with the help of thousands of IT volunteers from across Canada over the next 5 years.

Laptop donations from companies and individuals are crucial to the success of this program. Click here to find out more.

The computers will provide a standardized national platform complete with adaptive software to assist low vision or blind Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB) members with various computer applications and internet connectivity, enabling access to such services as e-mail and internet banking. We will also provide sotware and computer training to CCB members at each and every CCB chapter across Canada.
