Project GreenED was founded by Nicholas Yonezawa, an aspiring environmentalist, with the help of Dr. John Hardman and his great friends. Nicholas noticed the need to incorporate technology in public schools in Brazil and in many developing countries. After doing extensive research process, Nicholas hand-picked the schools to receive the material that have none to few computers per classroom.

The Project GreenED Team believe that by not having computers in the classroom prevents students from gathering knowledge through the World Wide Web. In addtion, we strongly believe in recycling, which saves natural resources and reduces the impact on the Earth. Since it takes a great deal of resources and energy to build new computers, recycling and reusing are one of the main driving points behind the idea of Project GreenED. With these aspects in mind, ProjectGreenED was founded, with the dedicated team striving to provide technology to the less fortunate schools while at the same time reducing their impact on the Earth.
