Inspiring Schools in areas of economic need Globally to Partner, share, learn and GROW together

"My whole family are Teachers, and the idea for Sun Screen IT Foundation came to me in 2008, when I met teachers from Ghana, West Africa who were visiting the school in Somerset in which my mother taught. They told me about the problem that developed countries are sending thousands of computers each month to West Africa in the name of Charity, but that these are not reaching the schools, and instead are being burned or picked apart in electronic waste dumps for scrap metal, by children as young as 6. The computers that were being donated were hardly ever reaching the schools. The ones that did reach the schools either broke or used so much electricity that they could not be sustained. Hearing about this problem I realised that I could make a difference with my IT connections and my knowledge of the most efficient desktop computers (known as Thin Clients). More importantly, that just a small change in the way the IT equipment is handled at it’s first “end of life” can be leveraged to make a massive improvement to the education of children in developing countries.”

Nathaniel is Founder of Sun Screen IT Foundation – Registered Charity 1182025 – and CEO of Sun Screen IT Ltd – which operates to fund the Charity via the business’ 100% Profit donation commitment. Nathaniel’s career in Technology began in 2000, but despite Senior & Management Roles in global vendors such as Sun Microsystems, Oracle, and BMC Software, education has always been a focus and priority. This passion for education lead Nathaniel in 2010 to found the Sun Screen IT Group – as a volunteer based project to fund and donate sustainable IT access for young people in areas of economic need.

After founding the Sun Screen IT Foundation Charity, he assigned full ownership to Trustees who now leverage their significant global Charity & Business experience to create life changing outcomes for underprivileged young people.

Nathaniel’s original idea has grown from a seed in 2008 to focus on the hopes and dreams of what we believe can be millions of young lives changed in the next 30 years – via this innovative model of sustainable funding derived from environmental improvement & regulation of the IT Industry.
