According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, approximately 168,000 households in Israel with schoolchildren do not own a computer or have access to the internet. This constitutes 18% of all households in Israel with schoolchildren. 85% of these households– approximately 143,000 households –  are situated in the four lowest socio-economic rankings. It is therefore evident that the boundaries of Israel’s digital divide are clearly defined by socio-economic positioning.

Technological progress creates countless opportunities, but also increases social and educational gaps. The kits we supply children, which include computers, software, internet access and training, serve as an effective tool for reducing digital gaps.

“Computer for Every Child” is leading the national effort to close the digital divide, in order to provide equal opportunities for every child in Israel.
