Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize education, healthcare, and countless fields—but unlocking that potential requires more than just access to software. AI workloads demand significant and continuous computing power, including modern GPUs and robust infrastructure—resources that are often out of reach for the communities that could benefit the most.
In well-funded school districts, students may grow up with parents working in tech, classrooms equipped with the latest devices, and access to cutting-edge tools that prepare them for the future. But for the vast majority of under-funded schools—many serving first-generation learners or families without technical literacy—the growing divide in access to computing resources threatens to deepen systemic inequality.
How can we bridge this gap?
The Baobichen Foundation is working on a scalable initiative to provide AI infrastructure directly to schools and nonprofits in underserved communities. By collecting donated computer hardware—particularly GPUs and servers from tech companies and research institutions following their upgrade cycles—we can repurpose powerful machines that would otherwise go unused.
Once acquired, our foundation covers the cost of upkeep, maintenance, and deployment. These systems are then made available to educators, students, and nonprofit researchers who would otherwise have no access to such tools. In the long term, this initiative is not just about hardware—it’s about empowerment. It’s about creating a new pipeline of AI-capable students and equitable access to the technologies shaping tomorrow.
We welcome donations of:
- Retired servers and GPU workstations
- Cloud credits from corporate partnerships
- Technical volunteer support (setup, maintenance, training)
Join us in democratizing AI—one school, one community, one server at a time.
