The schools receiving the equipment estimate that the equipment will serve 15,975 students annually. WCE works with 11 field associates in 10 developing countries on a fee basis. They will develop WCE chapters in those countries, utilizing the WCE process to collect, refurbish, load, and distribute computers to local community schools and other organizations serving youth. They will also help our partners maintain their computers and provide technical assistance.

One pressing issue was the difficulty in securing affordable storage and the sluggish demand for used computer desktops. In response, the board of directors made a strategic decision to cease accepting donations for computer desktops and associated accessories and opted to diminish the inventory of these devices substantially. Consequently, during the year ended June 30, 2024, the organization undertook the disposal of old desktop computers, generating a total loss on inventories of $143,675, with no residual value.
