About Our Enterprise
Closing the Digital Divide Together

- Women and children fleeing family and domestic violence
- Refugees and migrants – new arrivals and in detention
- Homeless and at-risk youth
- Socially-isolated individuals
- Low income families

Our Circular Process
Join our Cycle of Positive Impact
We’re an enterprise with purpose, delivering life-altering benefits for everyone. Help us be a catalyst for good.
01. Donated = Distributed
Your unwanted tech goes to someone with a serious need to connect.
02. Repaired = Job-Ready
Your broken device is fixed by somebody who will take our training and thrive.
03. Saved = Sustainable
Every device we take, refurbish and repair, reduces the problem of landfill.
04. Profits = Progress
Your repair fees support all our great work, and gives us scope to help more.
