Founded in 2023 and based in Seattle, Washington, Chiapas Education Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing electronic waste and expanding technology access for underserved communities. Driven by a commitment to Indigenous solidarity that knows no borders, we focus on Chiapas, the poorest state in Mexico, and the Pine Ridge Reservation, the poorest reservation in the United States. We also work to support underserved communities across the Pacific Northwest, bridging the digital divide and empowering communities through access to technology.
International Impact
In Chiapas, Mexico, we empower students across four schools—from preschool to high school by providing access to essential technology. Additionally, we’ve established two recreational centers where children, including those who work to support their families, can safely explore and build technology skills outside traditional school settings.
Local Impact:
At the Pine Ridge Reservation and throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Tacoma, Seattle, Lynnwood, and Everett, we refurbish donated computers for low-income families. By making technology more accessible, we help bridge the digital divide in these communities.
Through our efforts, we strive to create opportunities and enhance lives both locally and internationally, while promoting environmental sustainability by reducing electronic waste.
