Elevate a Nation.
As Business for Good platinum partners, Reo Group gives 50 days of technology education to Indigenous communities in Central Australia, simply by working with our clients. We partner with B1G1 and CAYLUS to provide technology education and equipment where access to digital devices and reliable internet is limited.
Our Giving Story
As technology transformation and AI change the employment landscape and our day to day lives, those who don't have access to digital devices and reliable internet find it increasingly difficult to do the everyday things we take for granted, and even harder to compete for jobs. Elevate a Nation was born from the need to reduce the digital divide in Australia by providing computer labs and technology education in remote areas.
1 x 6+ month project = 50 days of tech education.
When a Reo Group Professional Services consultant has been engaged on a project for six months or more, we give 50 days of technology education to the Elevate a Nation project, through the Business for Good platform B1G1.
B1G1's buy one, give one model turns our everyday business activity into funds, which are then used to build labs, purchase equipment, and fund tech education on the ground.
More About B1G1A pathway to a more sustainable, equitable world.
Elevate a Nation is linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), and Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure).
Every six months our contributions are updated and passed to B1G1, who turn funds into action on the ground: building computer labs, maintaining and replacing equipment, and funding the Geeks in Residence education program.
CAYLUS turns donations into action.
Central Australia Link Up Youth Services (CAYLUS) is a not-for-profit that has set up a network of computer labs across the region, providing equipment, maintenance and expert educators. Learning is driven by the lab users, who build skills at their own pace across everything from distance education to music production.
