“At Arrow, we have the privilege of telling inspiring stories
about how technology can transform people’s lives,” said Rich
Kylberg, Arrow’s global vice president of corporate marketing and
communications. “We are honored by this recognition from PR Week,
and we dedicate this award to the children of the Tuleeni
Orphanage, the recipients of the first Arrow DigiTruck in Africa,
who continue to inspire us all.”
The DigiTruck is a mobile classroom or clinic that can operate
off-grid in remote areas. Built from a refurbished 40-foot steel
cargo container, it is triple insulated to protect against tropical
heat and deter vandalism. Rooftop solar panels can power the unit
for two days. Donated electronics from Arrow inside the DigiTruck
include refurbished laptops, mobile devices and an LED flat-screen
monitor. Arrow launched the DigiTruck program in Africa with its
nonprofit partner Close the Gap in 2015.
