Donate your old mobile phone for children in need
Do you have a mobile phone that you no longer need? Do a "good deed" and support SOS Children's Villages Switzerland: hand in your old mobile phone on Saturday, 24 May at one of over 30 selected Coop shops on "Tag der guten Tat". This keeps valuable raw materials in the cycle. 100% of the proceeds go to SOS Children's Villages. This will be used to provide meals and nutritional education for children in need. You can also return your old device to a Swisscom shop at any time.
The " Tag der guten Tat " will take place for the sixth time on 24 May. Coop's nationwide hands-on campaign focuses on voluntary commitment and motivates people to do good. SOS Children's Villages is a partner of this initiative with Swisscom Mobile Aid.
