In a collaborative effort aimed at community empowerment, CDW, alongside Dell Technologies and other partners, has successfully inaugurated a Solar Community Hub in Newlands, South Africa. This innovative hub, built from recycled shipping containers and powered by solar energy, is set to bridge the digital divide and foster local development.
Suzette Carty, Head of Global ESG at CDW, conveyed her excitement about the collaboration with Dell Technologies, affirming, “We are delighted to join forces with Dell to bring this Solar Community Hub to fruition in the Newlands area. This project reflects CDW’s commitment to ensuring that technology opens up limitless possibilities for everyone.”
