Eliminating e-Waste & Bridging the Digital Divide
Every second, hundreds of digital devices are thrown away around the world. Meanwhile billions of people go without the tools they need to realise their dreams in our digital age. We are changing this, transforming e-waste into opportunities for students and future leaders across regional Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines.
Since 2017, we have repurposed more than 24,000 devices, diverting them away from landfill and into the hands of 343,000 students in need. By 2027, we aim to digitise a million dreams, enriching the lives of a million people with digital learning tools and opportunities.
A quality education can only be a digital education in today’s world. However, this is not a reality for students across Australia and the Asia Pacific region who experience digital exclusion through lack of access to digital tools. LiteHaus International is a Queensland-based NGO placing the tools to learn, dream and achieve in the digital age at the fingertips of students across Asia Pacific.
How do you donate devices?
IT asset disposal tends to come at a cost, however, sending your end-of-life assets our way is COMPLETELY FREE, including a complementary data erasure service. Your tech team does not need to fill out a spec list or anything like that. Just tell us what you have and we'll work out what we can take.
For most of our beneficiaries, this will be the first time they have owned or even touched a computer. Your devices will be used to establish ground-breaking digital classrooms or equip students who do not have digital access at home.
In a digital world, data is everything. LiteHaus International is committed to ensuring that our supporters’ data is handled securely and appropriately. At no cost, we offer secure data erasure to NIST 800-88 R1 standard using Cedar software, complete with reporting. We can complete this service remotely and under total supervision from donors, if preferred.
We also accept devices without hard-drives, should donors choose to keep sensitive data. Please touch base to discuss a solution which works for you.
