Description:
The Reconnect Project, a registered charity and social enterprise, is closing Australia’s digital divide by providing refurbished mobile devices to people in need.
Also for IEWD, we accept donations of mobile phones and tablets in any age or condition and laptops less than 10 years old. We believe in extending the lifespan of an already existing device through repair and refurbishment and stopping items from prematurely entering e-waste. We mentor young adults with neurodiverse or psychosocial disabilities who learn from our technicians how to repair, securely erase and refurbish devices. This extends the device’s lifespan, reduces landfill and recycles valuable materials as well as developing skills and employment opportunities, and gives people in need the tools to (re)connect with family, friends, education providers and essential services.
