Your old mobile phone, tablets and laptops can change lives, when you recycle them with SafeHands.
Donate your mobile
Recycle your old device and we’ll use the money to put our Outreach Tablets into the hands of midwives, health extension workers and peer educators in Ethiopia and Uganda. As each phone raises an average of £5, you’ll be making a difference.
