We collect old cellphones lying around in people's drawers and ship them to our partners in Africa, who donate them to less fortunate families that cannot afford to buy a cellphone or to replace a broken one.
The value of communication spans all socioeconomic classes, from rich to poor. Africa is no exception, but not everyone has access to a cell phone...
During our exciting trip to Africa, we noticed everyone had a cellphone, including those without money. We realized a cellphone was more important than a meal to many, but how can they afford it and what can they do when they break their phone?

Collecting donated cell phones is not easy, transporting them safely to Africa is a challenge, but to distribute them to the right recipients in a foreign country is a formidable task... lucky for us we found some great organizations in Africa to help us.
