Donate Your Old Phone to Hope Phones

Donate Your Old Phone to Hope Phones

The Issue

What if your old phone could change the world? With Hope Phones, a new campaign by FrontlineSMS:Medic, you can.

Hope Phones takes recycled phones and puts them to work on the front lines of global health. Using basic phones, simple laptops and the free software called FrontlineSMS, any rural health clinic can better keep track of patient records, enable mobile field diagnostics, and open better communication between community health workers and the home clinic.

One donated phone can bring anywhere from 50-250 families onto the health grid.
