Description
Visit www.HopePhones.org!
Hope Phones lets you give your old cell phone new life on the frontline of global health. Just one, old blackberry will allow us to purchase 3-5 cell phones for healthcare workers, bringing another 250 families onto the health grid via SMS. Old phones can help save lives.
Hope Phones will make use of the nearly 450,000 cell phones discarded every day in the US.
HopePhones.org allows you to print a free shipping label and send your old phone in to a recycling company. The phone’s value allows FrontlineSMS:Medic to purchase usable, recycled cell phones for healthcare workers.
Can you help us spread the word? A quick Facebook update, copying an email to lists, friends, family, and networks -- every effort is valuable!
If you donate phones, post here or on our page so we can pass on thanks from clinics around the world.
