Why is technology for refugees so important?
In today’s world, students need access to computers and other technology to help them succeed in school, especially refugee children who often experience gaps in their education.
Tent Schools International works abroad and in the United States to make sure refugee students are equipped with the devices they need to learn.
We partner with electronics refurbishing company Comprenew to offer free or discounted devices for refugee students and resettled families through our LEAP program.

We honor the biblical mandate to welcome those from other nations who are fleeing for their lives. We strive to put ourselves in their place, to love our neighbor as ourselves (Leviticus 19:18), to treat them as would want to be treated if the circumstances were reversed.
