Donate your old mobile phone to Lesotho! (share this idea!)

Rithabile lives in a township near Maseru, capital of Lesotho/ Africa. She has finished an education but as a kindergarten teacher she is not allowed to work, because the parents of the children are thinking, that someone with her physical disability can´t take care of their children. She is the mother of a six-month-old child and is married. Ritabile has no income and is only selling candy in the township. However, this is not enough and so they eat nothing for days which is also very dangerous for her new born baby. Now, she can´t pay the rent of her house anymore. So it is quite hard to say, what is happening in her life next. Rithabile wants no money, but options. She wants to sell second-hand clothes in the township, but she needs start-up capital. 

I came to the idea to collect old mobile phones (with carger). This I would send to Maseru and Rithabile can sell this to the people in the township. I had appointed a group in Germany two months ago to organize this fundraising. But this group has totally failed. Anyway, Rithabile is still waiting for some support (cause this group allready agreed, to organize this) She wrote me this short mail yesterday:

"Hi dennis hw faw r ur group with the collection dat dey promised me. Im suffering nw. My husband is no longer gting piece jobs. My child doesnt hv winter clothes and owner of de house wants her house end f june coz i didnt pay since april. Plz help. Im rethabile lesotho." 

Therefore, I call on the community for help: Send your old mobile phone to the address of my mother. She will collect the phones and ship them to Lesotho a month after. (End of donation 1.8.2014) I know Rithabile very well and can guarantee, that this small donation will have a major effect on the lives of their family.

Thank you for your support
