Connecting underserved learners and communities with the digital devices, skills and opportunities they need to participate in the digital world.
The Device Donation Project is one of the core projects under the Digital Inclusion & Literacy Program of Future Bridge Tech Foundation (FBTF). The project seeks to bridge the technology access gap by providing refurbished or newly donated digital devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones and assistive technologies to underserved learners, schools and community centers.
By connecting donors and beneficiaries, FBTF helps ensure that technology becomes a tool for empowerment, learning and opportunity rather than a barrier caused by financial limitations.
Through responsible device collection, refurbishment and distribution, the project creates practical pathways for individuals and institutions that might otherwise lack access to essential digital tools.
Promote equitable access to digital devices among students, women and underserved communities.
Enhance digital learning and online participation through access to appropriate devices.
Encourage corporate and individual social responsibility through technology donation.
Reduce electronic waste through responsible collection, reuse and refurbishment of devices.
Strengthen partnerships between donors, local schools and digital inclusion advocates.
Devices are sourced from individuals, corporate bodies, technology companies and institutions willing to donate new or used gadgets.
Devices are examined, cleaned and restored by FBTF’s technical volunteers to ensure functionality and safety before redistribution.
Schools, youth groups and individuals in marginalized areas are identified through community surveys and partner networks.
Each donation event includes a short training session to help recipients use their devices effectively for learning, business or personal development.
The Foundation periodically evaluates how donated devices are being used to promote sustainability and measure impact.
The Device Donation Project is volunteer-driven. Volunteers play a central role in collecting and cataloging donated devices, conducting basic repairs, cleaning and software installation, assisting with logistics and distribution during donation events, and providing mentorship and user support to beneficiaries.
A Project Coordinator oversees planning, partnerships and reporting, ensuring transparency, accountability and effective coordination throughout the project.
Interested individuals or institutions complete a brief online or paper-based application form.
Applications are reviewed by the Project Committee to verify eligibility and need.
Priority is given to female learners, persons with disabilities and schools in remote communities.
Selected beneficiaries are invited to receive devices during organized outreach and donation events.
FBTF collaborates with technology companies for large-scale device donations, repair and recycling firms for refurbishment support, and educational institutions and NGOs to identify suitable beneficiaries.
The Foundation promotes sustainable e-waste management practices by encouraging the reuse and refurbishment of devices wherever possible and ensuring that unusable devices are recycled responsibly.
