Sharecycle is a Portland-based organization that focuses on shipping donated goods to communities and NGO’s in developing countries. The goal of Sharecycle is to distribute used items to communities across the world in need of basic goods while reducing waste in the United States. The organization is currently seeking donations for its current projects.
Sharecycle is in partnership with Reach and Touch, an organization in rural Zambia that promotes and enhances the livelihood of the people in their small village; and COPRECOT in Tanzania, an NGO that strives to preserve the environment, reduce poverty, and increase the standard of living in their community.
The current donation needs include sewing machines (including embroidery machines), digital cameras, film cameras and film, solar or battery-operated radios, single-gear bicycles, cooking utensil sets (no pots and pans), and converters (from 110 to 230V, with D or E plug style). Donation pick-up service is available.
If you have any of these items to donate or have any questions, please e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.org.
