hope phones

it's summer! and you know what that means: it's time for my annual collection drive! this year i've decided to go with hope phones, which reuses and recycles old cell phones. they receive the value of each recycled phone to purchase supplies for medic mobile, a non-profit that has helped an estimated 400k+ patients in 15 countries. "This work includes needs assessment and technology strategy, designing services that leverage effective communication, developing software, installing and configuring software and training health workers."

hope phones accepts any phone in any condition, working or not. they also take all chargers and accessories, though they don't need them. "The current average value per used phone is $5, but smartphones are regularly valued at $80."

i will be collecting your old phones through august, and if you need me to come and pick them up from you, email or call me so we can arrange something. thanks in advance!
