11	Why Congo needs Laptops For Health Desktops are not appropriate for rural areas where electricity is scarce (or non existent). Laptops have been successfully used in some health zones (a few with solar recharging). Congolese doctors cannot afford new (or even used) laptops. A government MD makes $100 a month. Laptops For Health can provide used functional laptops to Congo Health Professionals for free or at a nominal cost.
12	Laptops For Health... Is a program of Interchurch Medical Assistance (I.M.A.), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit since 1964. Accepts donations of functional P3/4 laptops or cash to purchase laptops. Gifts are tax deductible Resells some donated laptops to cover the cost of spare parts, laptop rehab and shipping. Prepares selected models for Congo, e.g., with extra batteries and legally installed software. Distributes laptops within Congo through I.M.A. projects managed with local partners.

16	Laptops For Health – The Objectives Provide a functional P3 (or faster) laptop to every Health Zone in DRC (that needs one). Begin with the 75 health zones assisted by the IMA/ECC partnership. Expand to other health zones in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (and in coordination with other partners to avoid duplication of efforts). Laptops will be mapped by serial number so donors may track their final destination. Spare parts will be maintained in DRC to support repair and maintenance.
