Can anyone help me with some used computers to help train the youth of
my Village so they gain some skills to work for a living?

I think the village must have the ability of living without a
computer. In the modern society, all people who pay out the same
quantity of work should get a equal division of the consumable
according to their needs. Because the village have existed in the past
without a computer, it should be able to exist in the future in the
same condition. Although there is much more branches of work year by
year, some of the old branches of work cannot be removed, but be
wielded with some new technique. And villagers have to pay enough
works to earn there own computers, so that they can get more
information about the world and learn to work more efficiently as well
as live in a better environment.

there should be very many computers edged out every year which are
still usable, especially in the U.S.A. I've heard that a computer
bought in 1995 is still in use in Cuba in recent years. Those
computers should be able to help the village for free or not.

Apparently, they do recycling in Ghana, just like India.

The timing of this request for computers, couldn't be better.
Look at today's news.

Until today, I didn't even know Ghana was a destination for
E-waste. I've seen complaints about shipping containers leaving our
west coast, destined for overseas recycling. Apparently, we don't
have enough outgoing inspectors to stop it.

Then do you mean that what the OP wants is just some of those E-waste
from their recyclers?
If the America do export its E-waste abroad, the behavior should be
considered as a decision from the American citizens. And although Gana
may get a polluted landscape, it could also get much more dollars from
those information contained in the wasted or donated storage devices
to improve both their productivity of labour and their environment. ^o^

then what should be blamed are the developed countries and their
colonial ancestors, both of which would always blame the Africans just
like Man-wai Chang to The Door whom I think is from Hong Kong
according to his signature, which place had been ruled by the Great
Britain for many many years. Even my opinions may be taken for
terrorism, or I may be taken for the supporters of the terrorists. Oh
my logical is confused so critical. #)

I don't know if individual "gifting" of computers, would be covered.
In any case, if a person really wanted a gift to be delivered to a
deserving person, the delivery should best be done in person. At
least one poster here recently, was taking computers with him for deliver
in another country. At least then, you know they aren't being re-routed,
to make some scumbag rich.
In some countries, they don't have enough electricity to make
computers viable. Some areas are on "controlled blackout", where
you get power for a few hours, and then the power goes off. In such
places, UPSes and piles of batteries are the answer. Which is another
environmental disaster waiting to happen (batteries to be recycled).
