The Reconnect Project is a Sydney based not for profit and social enterprise whose mission is to close the digital divide by repairing and refurbishing donated mobile devices thus extending the life and usability of the items, keeping them out of landfill, and distributing them through case managers to people in need. We're also providing work integrated training and employment opportunities to young neurodivergent adults who are marginalized from mainstream employment and the proceeds from this course help towards the cost of these programs.
