£165 needed for a refurbished laptop
E is a refugee from Eritrea who moved to the UK one year ago. He is trying to study English and improve his computer skills. He is really keen to develop beyond basic computer use to have a chance at teaching himself coding to an employable level. E is putting a lot of time into studying. He has no formal qualifications here so a laptop would significantly improve his job seeking chances and opportunities for the future.
