Why is Christchurch City Council involved?

The Computers in the Community Project was set up in response to numerous requests from the community to the Christchurch City Council for help with accessing computers.

The Council wanted to support community groups in gaining increased access to the internet and information technology. Computers can provide groups with a wealth of information for community projects, activities and advocacy and allow for diverse cultures and values to be reflected. By working in partnership with Molten Media Community Trust and Canterbury Development Corporation, we are able to work towards this vision.

This project has broad social, economic and environmental benefits which are in line with Council's vision of a 'sustainable' Christchurch.
