KHOU 11 Hosts Computers For Our Kids Telethon
HOUSTON
—
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, learning from home has become the new norm for tens of thousands of Houston students. The technology gap between disadvantaged students is growing, limiting their ability to learn.
An estimated 50,000 students in the Houston area lack the basic tools they need to do their schoolwork from home.
KHOU is working to close the digital divide by getting "like-new" computers into the hands of students across Harris County. KHOU has partnered with Comp-U-Dopt, a Texas-based non-profit that works directly with families to distribute devices within our community. Funds raised will go to supporting Comp-U-Dopt’s efforts to close the digital divide here in Houston.
For every $2,000 we raise, we can donate 10 computers to kids. We have set a goal of $50,000 for our virtual telethon on Thursday, Sept. 3.
Please consider donating between now and Sept. 3. Any amount can help.
