Paice Joins ‘Phones 4 Africa’ Campaign

South East Cambridgeshire MP Jim Paice has donated his old mobile phone to the ‘Phones 4 Africa’ campaign – launched this week - and urged his constituents to follow suit. See attached photo.

Donated phones will be reconditioned and reused in African nations – improving mobile communications in the developing world and helping to protect the environment. 

Jim said: “Every hour 1,712 mobile phones are upgraded in the UK alone and despite having a lifespan of 10 years we usually keep them for 18 months on average. Africans do not have the same luxury.

“Donating unwanted mobile phones will not only improve mobile communications in Africa but will help to protect the environment. That is why I am getting involved in the ‘Phones 4 Africa’ campaign. 

“Anyone wishing to donate their old handsets to this campaign should send them to FREEPOST Fonebak Vodafone Africa.”
