16 Day Challenge: Take Bold Action

From 25 November to 10 December, we’re inviting corporate and community partners to participate in the 16 Days of Activism by running phone drives, hosting collection boxes, or sponsoring repairs and SIMs. Participants are encouraged to set goals such as donating 16 phones, raising $1,600, securing 16 recurring donors, or walking 16 kilometres - actions that directly save lives.

Responsible recycling through MobileMuster

We partner with MobileMuster to ensure the safe disposal and certified recycling of mobile phones. Devices that cannot be repaired or are no longer supported are responsibly recycled, with hazardous materials safely extracted. Valuable metals and materials are recovered and reused, reducing waste and the need for new raw material extraction.
