About Reboot Nepal
A simple idea, run carefully.
Closets across the United States hold laptops that still work. Classrooms across Nepal have too few. Reboot Nepal is the bridge between the two, and we built it so that anyone can check the crossing.
Our mission
Put working devices in the hands of children who will use them
A laptop that has been replaced is not finished. Most still switch on, still run a browser, still open a document. What they lack is a student.
The name is literal. A laptop that has been replaced gets a reboot: erased, repaired where needed, and switched on again in a classroom in Nepal. A child gets a first computer.
Reboot Nepal collects those devices, tests and erases them at a warehouse in the United States, and ships them in batches to non-profit partners in Nepal who place them with children and schools. Donors pay nothing; we send a prepaid label.
The part we care about most is that none of this asks for blind trust. Each device has a record on our platform that donors, partners and the public can read, from the day the label is issued to the day a partner confirms it was placed.
How we work
Four things we hold ourselves to
Practical
Transparent
Locally led
Careful with data
Who runs it
A small team, a warehouse, and partners on the ground
Reboot Nepal is run by a small team and volunteers in the United States, working with partner organisations in Nepal. Testing, wiping and packing devices is hands-on work, and we welcome help at the warehouse.
We publish what we do on the platform rather than in reports, because a live record is harder to polish than a brochure.
The simplest way to help is in a drawer near you.
Request a free label and send one device. Then watch where it goes.
