Your Used Phone Can Have a New Life

Every year thousands of Canadians receive a new smartphone for the holidays and their used ones ends up collecting dust on shelves even though they may still be very new. 

 

The CNIB Foundation is asking you to donate them to people with sight loss through their Phone it Forward program. 

 

The program takes modern gently used smartphones, refurbishes them and outfits them with accessible apps and puts them into the hands of people who are blind as well as providing training on how to use their refurbished phone. 

 

These phones make it possible for blind and partially sighted users to do all kinds of things that may have seemed impossible before from travelling safely using GPS to shopping independently or taking the proper dosage of medicine.

 

To donate your smartphone, make a financial donation or learn more visit phoneitforward.ca.
