OLD PHONES SAVE LIVESHope Phones’ first pilot project distributed cell phones to community health workers in 100 rural villages in Malawi, saving thousands of dollars in travel and hospital costs and doubling the number of patients treated for diseases such as tuberculosis.
Each donated phone will be refurbished and used to purchase appropriate, usable cell phones for community health workers in medical clinics in over 30 countries around the world.
When you donate your old cell phone to Hope Phones, the road becomes less traveled by medical staff in Malawi.
