Great piece from earlier last year by Te Aka Tauira featuring our co-founder Owyn Aitken and Remojo Tech’s involvement in Recycle A Device.

The article covers some of Remojo Tech and RADs work with Greg Scrivin from Te Wharekura o Mauao. Owyn highlighted some of the struggles and stigma associated with digital equity in Māori and Pacifica communities and how supporting initiatives like RAD can help get devices and tech skills in the hands of tauira.

We're incredibly grateful for all supporters of this initiative - as mentioned in the article, if you have devices to donate or want to offer financial support, get in touch with Recycle A Device at recycleadevice.nz.
