HP in East Baltimore: Education and Economic Development

HP launched the Baltimore Digital Village (BDV) through a grant to East Baltimore Development Zone in Baltimore, Maryland, USA in 2001. There are three components to the BDV: employment; community access; and education.

The BDV has partnered with the Education Based Latino Outreach program and other groups to bring access to Latinos through its Digital Village initiative.

At The Door (a faith-based program with a physical presence in Baltimore), kids play games to help them learn. See Grants for Kids' Programs. More about The Door: technology assistance;
