An Australian not for profit association supporting communities in Kolkata, India
Did you know there are 20 million old mobile phones sitting in draws? In today’s technological environment most Australian households today have between 3 and 5 used mobile phones sitting in drawers or toy boxes. All are waiting to be recycled and can help to raise funds to support the Jaynagar Day Care Centre in Kolkata, India.
The Day Care Centre looks after children aged six to 10 belonging to agricultural and other daily labourers’ families. This is an important development in the area, and will provide a safe and hygienic space for children to play and learn while their parents are at work.
For this fundraiser there’s nothing to buy.
We are simply asking you to donate your old mobile phones.
We accept mobile phones in any condition.
Your donation will help keep our planet safe and green, and by helping to keep mobile phones out of landfills. For every mobile phone that you donate Friends of Kolkata receives from $2 to $15.
The mobile phones that are collected will be refurbished and distributed to developing counties, where they will play a major part in people lives.
And any phones that are beyond economic repair are broken down and the parts will be recycled for the making of new products.
If you are interested in hosting a collection box at your place of work please get in touch with us via email at
