C1 & Human IT impact report

Last year, C1 partnered with Human-I-T to help divert technology from landfills and promote sustainability. By collaborating with Human-I-T, C1 contributed to the refurbishment and redistribution of old electronic devices, turning them into accessible technology for underserved communities. This partnership not only helped reduce e-waste but also provided individuals with access to essential tools for digital literacy and success. Together, C1 and
