What is a Purple Elephant?
It has been well over 50 years since my school teacher used a picture of blind men standing around an elephant trying to describe it. One, at the trunk, described the elephant as long and round. Another, at an ear, described the elephant as wide, thin, and flat. Yet another, at a leg, described it as a tree trunk. Each was correct, but no one knew what the elephant really looked like. |

The Purple Elephant Computer Factory for KIDS! is a nonprofit 501(c)3 that is focused on computer reuse. We accept donated computers, refurbish them, install a new Windows XP image with additional software, and make them available to ALL KIDS ... disadvantaged, at-risk, military ... and other individuals through requests and referrals, at a very low cost. Mission:To bridge the educational and rehabilitative needs of children, and adults, by placing computer technology directly into the home.
Goals:By providing refurbished and Internet-ready personal computers to KIDS OF ALL AGES hopes to:
- Reduce the high school Dropout Rate through in-home computer technology.
- Increase End-Of-Grade test scores through in-home computer technology.
- Use in-home computers as a tool to discourage Gang Participation.
- Connect Families with Deployed Active Duty parents via the Internet.
- To reduce the Recidivism Rate of ex-offenders through personal access to computer technology.
