Help Project Isizwe by donating 1,200 Android devices for our school reading programme
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
We urgently need approximately 1,200 Android devices to replace faulty and outdated hardware currently used in our reading programme across 120 underserved township and rural schools in South Africa. To date we have deployed around 3,200 devices, but more than 1,000 are now non-functional — affected by issues like devices not switching on, faulty or swollen batteries, insufficient storage, and software compatibility problems. This is directly impacting teachers trying to run lessons and learners trying to access the reading programme, many of whom now have no working device at all. Minimum device specification: Android 10 or later At least 3GB RAM At least 32GB storage New or good-quality used/refurbished devices are welcome, provided they meet this spec and are in reliable working condition. Every device restores access for a learner who currently has none. Your donation will help stabilise a programme that is already reaching thousands of children and protect the digital learning access we've worked hard to build in these communities.

Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
