Connecting communities and empowering rangatahi in a digital world

If you have an unwanted laptop, which is less than ten years old and comes with a charger, please donate it to us. It really can make a difference to someone's life.

Recycle A Device, or RAD, is an Aotearoa initiative which matches those who need a laptop with a donated and refurbished device. There are many good quality devices that are no longer needed in our communities, RAD tracks down these laptops and puts them to good use.

We teach rangatahi in-demand tech engineering skills to refurbish the laptops, and then work with community groups to get them into the hands of ākonga (students) and rangatahi (young people) who need them.
