Which motto is better in terms of meaning?
We have a free computer training centre "CAFE: Computer Access for Everyone" for the underprivileged. We need a motto for it. Which one is better? It is not like an NGO; it is located at the 5th floor of my friend's house. Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ComputerAccessForEveryone
1. A Free Training Centre for the Underprivileged.
2. A Non-Profit Training Centre for the Underprivileged.
Can you suggest a better one?
