WHO  WE  ARE

Dedicated to a mission of improving the quality of life for people with disabilities through computer training, Donka, Inc. has served DuPage County since 1987.

Donka, Inc is the only no-cost computer training program in the Chicagoland area that teaches students to use computers to read, write, continue an education, or advance skills needed for the workplace. Access to individualized, no-cost training is essential for the disabled population that demonstrates special accessibility requirements and low income levels.

WHAT  WE  DO

Donka strives to remain state of the art in computer technology and teaching techniques. 20 computer stations with hardware less than 3 years old, combined with an impressive inventory of cutting edge assistive technology, overseen by certified staff ensures success.

Each year approximately 50 individuals receive individualized, hands-on training at the Donka Computer Lab. Hundreds of others receive outreach services as Donka serves the community at large as a role model for computer training and an information source on assistive technology. Family members, educators, employers, rehab professionals, and social service agencies need access to current data in this field. Donka readily shares its expertise and provides information, assessments, access and training in adaptive technology and computers, again, at no-cost.

HOW  WE  DO  IT

With an annual budget just over $300,000 and a staff of 9, Donka works hard to secure program and operational funding from foundations, corporations, service clubs and individuals. We are not a part of United Way and have very little government funding. Instead, Donka maintains a broad base of support throughout the Chicago area by networking and creating strong collaborations with appropriate partners in business and education, as well as community leaders. Donka's program is recognized in Chicagoland, and it is backed by a professional reputation for quality and thoroughness.

Donka literally means "thank you", and we are most thankful for your visit to our web site. Find your way to join us and help people with disabilities help themselves to greater independence in their daily lives.
