Greentec and Makhos Inc. Empower Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation with100 Donated Devices

CAMBRIDGE, ON | May 26, 2025 – Greentec, in partnership with Makhos Inc., is proud to
announce the donation of 100 refurbished laptops, tablets, and phones to Kikendaasogamig
Elementary School, university students, and the Salvation Army Trades Start Program — a
contribution that will significantly expand learning opportunities for students and educators in the
Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.

This donation is part of a broader, ongoing initiative between Greentec and Makhos Inc. to bridge
technology gaps in Indigenous communities across Canada. By providing reliable, refurbished
equipment, both organizations are helping to support long-term educational and economic growth
while advancing their shared commitment to environmental sustainability.

"This donation reflects what Greentec stands for: creating opportunities, supporting communities, and protecting our planet," says Tony Perrotta, CEO at Greentec. "We are proud to partner with Makhos to empower the next generation of leaders."

Central to this initiative is Greentec’s dedication to the circular economy. By refurbishing and
extending the life of electronics, Greentec not only diverts e-waste from landfills but also ensures
equitable access to technology in underserved regions.

“As I work toward becoming a Registered Practical Nurse (RPN), having reliable technology is
essential. This laptop will support me in so many ways, whether it’s attending virtual classes,
completing assignments, accessing research materials, or participating in clinical simulations
online,” says Halle, a student in the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation community.

Despite progress, many Indigenous communities across Canada continue to face significant
barriers to accessing technology. Through sustainable, community-driven partnerships, Greentec
and Makhos remain committed to closing this digital divide — one device and one community at a
time.
