The Reconnect Project
Penshurst, Australia

The Reconnect Project is closing Australia's digital divide by providing refurbished mobile devices to people in need, reconnecting them with family, friends, and essential services. They accept donations of old, broken, and unwanted mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, securely erase all data, repair and refurbish the devices as needed, and distribute them through caseworkers. The Reconnect Project works with women's shelters, homelessness agencies, refugee and asylum seeker support organizations, youth outreach programs, and other social service providers. Their repair shop in southern Sydney also provides repair technician training courses and offers repair services for all types of consumer electronics to minimize e-waste. The Reconnect Project is a Social Traders Certified Social Enterprise and a member of Social Enterprise Council of NSW & ACT (SECNA) and Charitable Reuse Australia. Any surplus is reinvested towards their purpose.
