Ctrl + Alt + Empower: Teaching Tech One Click at a Time

At Enabling Basics, we see computer literacy as a lifeline. We’re a Houston-based initiative dedicated to empowering underserved individuals through free and accessible digital education. In a world where nearly everything happens online, we’re here to make sure no one gets left behind.

Our Mission

Being disconnected from technology means being disconnected from jobs, healthcare, education, and opportunity. Our work focuses on teaching essential computer skills in a supportive and judgment-free environment. We serve older adults, low-income individuals, recent immigrants, and others often excluded from the digital world. Our classrooms build more than tech skills. They create confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging.
