HP's e-inclusion in Brazil: Digital Garage

HP's e-inclusion project in Brazil is the Digital Garage (not to be confused with a software company). This project serves youth and young adults in an impoverished area. It provides a creative outlet while helping participants learn teamwork, decision-making skills, and workplace readiness. Its product is an Internet music portal.

The first group (about 120 people) graduated from the program to the real world in July 2002.

HP received an Innovative Partnership award in 2002 from Social Accountability International for this project.
