10News honors Jeanette Roache, the Founder and Executive Director of Technology Training Foundation of America (TTFA), a non-profit organization that accepts donations of old, working computers and refurbishes them, then offers them to public schools and other non-profit organizations throughout California.

Computers donated through the TTFA are helping to stretch technology dollars. With ever advancing technology and decreasing resources, schools and non-profit organizations will never have enough money to keep up. Retired corporate computers that are serviced before being donated, assuring they meet minimum technology standards of the recipient, are providing necessary tools to prepare students in schools for the technological world.

The repair facilities at TTFA also provide vocational students exposure to a wide variety of computer hardware and opportunities to train with real-life troubleshooting exercise. In California, TTFA has become partners with statewide computer refurbishment-training school programs. They include computer repair programs within the California Youth Authority, the Consolidated Brig MCAS Miramar in San Diego, and regional vocational training programs.

TTFA accepts donations of old, working computers and computers parts. The organization recycles, refurbishes and repairs all the equipment, then places them in Californian public schools and non-profit organizations at no-charge. The donated computers also come with a 90-day replacement guarantee.
