How Trade-in helps children from orphanages

Breezy’s sustainable electronics solutions make modern technology more accessible. Trade-In has already helped thousands of users make their dreams of new equipment come true. This is especially important for those who could not otherwise afford it.

Taking it a step further, Breezy has integrated Trade-In into a charitable endeavor, granting talented children from orphanages access to the modern equipment they need for their education.

Our inaugural charity project took place in Kazakhstan in collaboration with ASBIS, a leading Value Add Distributor, developer and provider of IT, IoT products, solutions and services to the markets of Europe, the Middle East and Africa. To raise public awareness, we teamed up with famous bloggers who launched a unique charity initiative – they didn’t collect money but old equipment! They planned to exchange these devices through the Trade-In program for brand-new gadgets for educational purposes. The response was phenomenal, with posts and stories amassing over 750,000 views and countless positive reactions.

Hundreds of people joined the campaign in just one week, eager to donate their old equipment. Breezy coordinated the collection of devices from donors in various regions of Kazakhstan.

In just three weeks, we successfully gathered sufficient equipment to provide the children with iPads, MacBooks, and iPhones. These devices will empower them to pursue their dreams of attaining sought-after professions that will secure their future and support their loved ones.

Recognized media outlets in Kazakhstan have taken note of the innovative nature of our charity project. Here’s what ORDA.kz had to say about it:

“You could stow away old equipment in a closet, or… you could help talented children realize their dreams. This is precisely what led to a collaborative effort between Almaty-based bloggers and Breezy. Together, they aimed to support the Dara Foundation’s talented young wards, enabling them to develop and monetize their talents, from design to IT, with top-quality study equipment.

The idea’s success was driven by trade-in, a program that allows old equipment to be exchanged for new. Breezy’s volunteers orchestrated a gadgets collection, which were then swapped for brand-new iPhone 14s, iPads, and MacBooks. Gadgets are now empowering these children to master new professions.” – ORDA.kz.

This initiative also played a crucial role in raising awareness among the general public about the importance of assisting talented children. The project showcased the idea that everyone can make a positive impact. It underscored that old gadgets are valuable assets that can easily be transformed into modern technology thanks to the Trade-In program.
