Governed community technology
Useful devices.
Prepared securely. Proven responsibly.
A controlled second-life programme connecting approved donors, secure preparation, verified recipients, responsible delivery and evidence-led aftercare.

Impact begins with suitability
Donation is one possible route—not a shortcut around security, quality or lawful movement.
The programme proceeds only when the equipment is suitable, ownership is clear, data can be controlled, the recipient is ready and the route can be evidenced honestly.
What the programme is
A controlled second-life route.
- ✓Secure device preparation
- ✓Verified recipient and use case
- ✓Documented handover and support
- ✓Honest outcome reporting
What the programme is not
An uncontrolled equipment handover.
- ×A shortcut around responsibility
- ×Direct shipment of uncleared devices
- ×A guarantee that every offer is accepted
- ×An impact claim without evidence
Programme roles
Different participants carry different responsibilities—but share one controlled record.
Select a role to see the responsibilities, evidence and practical outcome expected before a route can progress.
01Donor organisation
Responsible release
Turn surplus technology into a controlled second-life programme.
The donor confirms ownership, describes the estate and agrees the security, preparation, reporting and destination boundaries before any public impact claim is made.
Confirm authority, equipment scope, policy constraints, data risk and the intended social-value outcome.
Ownership record, asset scope, treatment requirement, approved route and transfer authority.
A recorded donor decision: progress, hold for clarification, redirect to another circular route or decline.
02School or recipient
Recipient readiness
Match useful equipment to a verified need and support environment.
A recipient is assessed for need, safeguarding, electrical power, connectivity, secure storage, technical capacity, curriculum or service use and realistic aftercare.
Define the intended use, number of users, local conditions, named ownership and who will support the technology after delivery.
Recipient approval, readiness check, agreed specification, delivery acceptance and support owner.
A recipient plan that explains who will use the devices, how they will be protected and how continued use will be checked.
03Repair or delivery partner
Preparation and movement
Prepare, configure and move equipment without losing control of the record.
Repair, data treatment, configuration, packaging, export or domestic movement and handover are allocated to approved parties with clear responsibilities.
Complete the agreed work, record exceptions, protect devices in transit and preserve chain-of-custody evidence.
Treatment results, functional testing, configuration checklist, packaging record, transport record and recipient handover.
Devices arrive in the agreed condition with visible treatment, preparation and delivery evidence.
04Funder, trainer or support partner
Sustainable programme support
Fund the parts of the programme that make access useful, safe and durable.
The useful outcome may depend on repair parts, configuration, connectivity, training, safeguarding, local support, maintenance and independent evidence—not only the device itself.
Define funding or support boundaries, eligibility, delivery milestones, decision rights and what evidence will be accepted.
Approved budget, programme milestone, training or support record, exception log and outcome review.
A complete programme route with funded preparation, adoption support and credible follow-up.
How the route works
Prepare the route before describing the impact.
A proposal may pause, change route or stop at any stage. Progress is recorded only when the relevant control and evidence are complete.
Nominate
Identify the donor, equipment, programme purpose and proposed recipient.
Verify
Confirm ownership, authority, data requirements, locks and lawful movement.
Assess
Check condition, repair need, useful-life potential and recipient fit.
Prepare
Sanitise, test, repair, grade, configure, package and record each device.
Deliver
Complete a controlled transfer with recipient acceptance and safeguarding.
Review
Record use, support, failures, learning and the evidence behind the outcome.
Programme boundary: photographs illustrate the operating model. They are not presented as evidence of a live SIT Recycling recipient or completed programme.
Evidence & reporting
State what happened, what did not happen and how the outcome was checked.
The evidence framework separates offers, preparation, delivery and continued use. It keeps rejections, holds, failures and unverified assumptions visible rather than converting every device into a positive impact claim.
- ✓Equipment offered, accepted, held, rejected and prepared
- ✓Ownership, authority and data-treatment completion
- ✓Functional testing, repair, configuration and grading
- ✓Recipient verification, delivery and acceptance
- ✓Training, support, repair and aftercare arrangements
- ✓Exceptions, failures, withdrawals and unresolved assumptions

Transparent programme decisions
Every proposal receives a route decision—not an automatic promise.
Suitability is based on security, condition, recipient readiness, lawful movement, practical support and the quality of the evidence available.
Advance to programme planning.
- Ownership and authority are clear
- Equipment has useful-life potential
- Data requirements can be met
- Recipient readiness is verifiable
- Delivery, support and evidence have owners
Resolve information or control gaps.
- Condition or quantity is unclear
- Recipient need is insufficiently defined
- Device locks or data require investigation
- Funding, logistics or aftercare are incomplete
- Evidence responsibility is unassigned
Choose a safer or more useful outcome.
- Equipment is unsafe or uneconomic to prepare
- Ownership or movement cannot be verified
- The recipient cannot support the technology
- Security requirements cannot be satisfied
- Repair, value recovery or recycling is more appropriate
Common questions
Understand the boundaries before proposing a route.
Does offering equipment guarantee that it will be donated?+
No. SIT Recycling first confirms ownership, data controls, condition, preparation cost, recipient fit, movement and evidence responsibilities. Equipment may progress, be held for clarification, move to repair or value recovery, enter responsible recycling or be declined.
Can equipment be sent directly to a school or community organisation?+
Not through the governed programme. Data clearance, functional condition, configuration, safeguarding, logistics and recipient readiness must be agreed before a controlled transfer.
What happens to unsuitable devices?+
Unsuitable equipment is not presented as a social-impact outcome. Depending on the condition and agreed policy, it may be repaired, used for approved parts recovery, routed to value recovery or sent to an authorised material-recycling route.
How will impact be measured?+
The programme records what was offered, accepted, rejected, prepared, delivered and supported. It also records data treatment, recipient acceptance, exceptions, failures, withdrawals and assumptions that could not be verified.
Can a customer nominate a school, charity or community programme?+
Yes, as a proposal. The nominated recipient still needs programme review, readiness checks, safeguarding and an approved delivery and support route.
Is the Liberia schools programme already live?+
The page describes a launch-gated programme model. Public claims about participating schools, device totals or outcomes should be published only after the programme, recipients and evidence have been approved.
