Gia Nayee
Founder
Hello, everyone! My name is Gia Nayee, and I am currently a Grade 12 student at Craig Kielburger Secondary School, deeply committed to making a difference in my community.
As the proud founder of Computers For Kids Halton, I embarked on this journey with a burning desire to address a critical need in our community. Witnessing the digital divide and the impact it had on the education of my peers inspired me to take action.
At Computers For Kids Halton, our mission is to bridge the gap and empower students through education. I believe that every young mind deserves equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of their financial circumstances.
My vision for this organization is simple yet powerful: to provide laptops and digital resources to financially disadvantaged students. By doing so, we aim to open doors to new educational horizons, empower dreams, and foster a brighter future for our community.
