About the project

As part of the project "Participation through media competence", the Diakonische Stiftung Ummeln is equipping its housing groups with terminal devices in order to train its residents in media competence and to enable them to be more independent. After the housing groups of the integration assistance have already been successfully equipped with three notebooks, the residents of the youth assistance are to be supplied next.

The group laptops are intended to make it easier for the young people to do research for homework, for example. Using the devices, the Diakonische Stiftung Ummeln would like to train the media skills of the youths and teach them how to use social media responsibly. The devices will give the young residents a bit more independence in the future: they will be able to do research on the internet on their own and make video calls to relatives.

How can you help?

You can donate old devices of any kind, which we will refurbish free of charge and provide to the Diakonische Stiftung Ummeln.

Questions about your hardware donation in cooperation with aid organisations



Which devices can be donated?

There is a need for various devices. Refugees need mobile hardware (mobile phones, smartphones, laptops, power banks) to stay in contact with their families. Aid organisations themselves need office hardware (laptops, printers) to coordinate their services on site. You can donate both old equipment and new goods. Obviously, the equipment should be fully functional.

How safe is the refurbishing process?

With 30 years of experience and around 40,000 refurbishments and installations per year, we are experts in IT refurbishment. The remanufacturing process includes qualified inspection, repair and cleaning - including secure data erasure. You can find more information about our technical background here. 

What happens with the equipment?

If your request does not refer to a specific project, we will give you an overview of the projects currently running. We then check the current needs at the organisations. You may decide on a project. Then we collect the equipment, check it, prepare it and deliver it to the places where it is needed. We remain in close contact with you, the donors.

Will I receive a donation receipt?

Yes, the recipient organisations can issue a certificate of your donation. The procedure is as follows: You issue an invoice to the recipient organisation stating that you waive payment in exchange for a donation receipt. You then receive the donation receipt from the recipient organisation. We can support you in this process by, on the one hand, sending you a receipt as soon as we have received the equipment and by estimating the value of the equipment for you.
