London, UK – SocialBox.Biz, a tech-focused social enterprise, is making a positive impact by repurposing old laptops and Macbooks with open source software. This initiative, which began in 2014, has been instrumental in bridging the digital divide and providing essential technology to those in need.
Through partnerships with various organizations, SocialBox.Biz has been able to provide laptops and Macbooks upgraded with open source software to refugees, homeless individuals transitioning into permanent accommodation, and older people with limited access to technology. These devices not only provide a means for communication and connectivity, but also open up opportunities for education, employment, and social inclusion.
According to Peter Paduh, founder of SocialBox.Biz, “Technology is a powerful tool that can change lives. By repurposing old laptops and Macbooks, we are not only increase impact for participating companies, but also empowering individuals and communities to thrive in today’s digital world.”
The organization also provides digital skills training to help recipients make the most of their devices and stay connected. They are currently looking for companies and large universities to sponsor their training plans:
SocialBox.Biz is committed to continuing their efforts to repurpose old laptops and Macbooks, iMacs and other tech and make a positive impact on society. They are also calling on individuals and businesses to donate their old devices and join them in their mission to bridge the digital divide and change lives.

Refugee Week is 17–23 June 2024 and London Tech Week 10-14th June 2024 . SocialBox.Biz, based in the UK, a tech-focused community interest company, is celebrating ten years of impact.
A former child refugee founded the organization with the intention of helping the impoverished learn IT skills by using donated and repurposed equipment. The initiative is expanding to reach more organizations willing to donate their unwanted IT equipment before it is recycled as scrap. Donations assist the homeless and elderly pensioners.
