ReCellular has pioneered a cell phone collection program that focuses on Africa and the African Wildlife Foundation to conserve this continent’s unparalleled wildlife and wild lands. As the leader in cell phone reuse and recycling, ReCellular believes that this is an easy way to fund philanthropic efforts in Africa, reduce potentially harmful waste and bring new technology to developing regions. You can further all three objectives by recycling your old mobile phone. An estimated 500 million “retired” phones are sitting around in drawers, closets and who knows where else. At present less than 10% get recycled.
By donating your old phone(s) to ReCellular you can also help AWF by indicating the African Wildlife Foundation as your charity of choice (from the drop down menu) on their website. Sending in the phone is a snap: simply print the pre-paid AWF shipping label from your computer, affix the label to envelope/box/bag and drop it in the mail. ReCellular will donate $1 dollar to AWF for every phone that can be re-sold (to developing countries as a low-cost alternative to a brand new phone). Any phones that cannot be re-sold are recycled in an environmentally friendly way. Visit www.lifelineforafrica.com.

In 2004 Starbucks and AWF teamed up to build awareness for conservation of the wild lands and wildlife in Africa and explore new ways to bring sustainable coffee growing practices to Kenya and Tanzania. AWF's Samburu, Kilimanjaro and Virunga heartlands all contain east Africa's most productive and highest quality coffee farms, and currently coffee farmers have the capacity to produce higher volumes of greater quality coffee but are constrained by a myriad of factors. Coffee has a high revenue earning potential if farmers have access to credit, training and extension services, and assistance with marketing.
Through this partnership with Starbucks, opportunities are being created for coffee farmers to improve their livelihoods by increasing the quality and value of their coffee crop, provide support for better husbandry of coffee and harvesting that will serve to increase the level of awareness
amongst coffee farmers in east Africa for certified coffee husbandry. To learn more about Starbucks corporate social responsibility programs, visit www.starbucks.com
AWF is working with BoGo Light to bring cheap, durable, and low-impact handheld lights to communities in wildlife areas around Africa. The BoGo Light utilizes solar-rechargable batteries to provide an inexpensive source of light. For countless many in Africa, light is a precious commodity and kerosene lamps are typically the only source; furthermore, they are not easily affordable, not safe and contribute to global warming.
When you purchase a BoGo (“Buy One, Give One”) Light, AWF will also receive one (1) light to give to game scouts, students and other conservation partners in Africa. Additionally, AWF will receive $1 dollar from SunNight Solar Enterprises for every light sold. It’s a technology that benefits people and the earth alike.
Visit www.bogolight.com. Be sure to select the African Wildlife Foundation as the recipient of choice on the BoGo Light website.
