Donate a smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Change a life.

We are connecting 1 billion unconnected people to the internet. By donating your old device, you help people access education, employment and other life-changing opportunities and provide connectivity for refugees and those fleeing conflict or abuse.

We are 100% run by volunteers so that 98% of donations reach people in need.

Send your old phone, give it purpose.

By donating your mobile phone you will be helping us:

  • re-gift them to people in need

  • resell them and use the income to buy phones, tablets and laptops to people in need overseas

  • recycle phones, that can't be re-gifted or resold, in a safe and responsible way

We will safely remove your data with our partner Genuine Solutions.
