Electronics Recycling Association

We have had a partnership with the Electronics Recycling Association (ERA) the past few years with the organization and its local staff becoming one of Isa Mundo's strongest collaborators.  Their focus on recycling electronic and technology products and donating them to various organizations that are in need, fits with our approach of: limiting supplies ending up in landfills; re-use products when possible; using technology to enhance and improve education; and become part of the larger community through volunteerism.

ERA's contribution to Isa Mundo Foundation has not gone unnoticed to the many students it has helped since 2013 in Mexico, Philippines, Nicaragua, Belize and beyond. The development of our Isa Mundo Education Centre (IMEC) is the start of our education projects in these countries, but without technological supplies and access to current information to enhance education beyond books - our IMECs would not be the success they are today. By having students access the internet for the first time and learn basic skills through Microsoft Office and hardware / software, their opportunities expand and education level improves.

We would like to again thank ERA for their support and commitment to improve education for less fortunate students worldwide.
