What our charity partners are saying
SIMs donated to Ukrainian refugees
Being connected to our friends, family and colleagues is something we take for granted these days, but for Ukrainian refugees it can be a lifeline.
Dronfield Rotary Club in Derbyshire is one of over 1,600 charities that signed up to Vodafone’s charities.connected initiative, meaning they’re able to donate SIMs to refugees and other vulnerable people to help them stay in touch with their loved ones around the world.
Not only this, but the connectivity donated has enabled many of the refugees to carry out critical activities such as creating bank accounts, hunting for jobs, and simply finding their way around with Google Maps. Being connected to our friends, family and colleagues is something we take for granted these days, but for Ukrainian refugees it can be a lifeline.
Belfast charity connects communities
After being the victim of a racial attack, former security officer Jahswill Emmanuel set up the Multi-Ethnic Sports and Culture Northern Ireland (MSCNI), a charity that aims to integrate Northern Ireland's diverse community through sporting and cultural activities. Helped by Vodafone's everyone.connected campaign, Jahswill has given out more than 100 SIMs to help vulnerable people in the community stay in touch with their loved ones. This has been so successful, Jahswill has already ordered 500 more from us.
