The project "Join the circle of solidarity" is an initiative of ECOTIC, launched in 2017, which each year brings more and more partners involved in the same cause.

The main purpose of this project is to give a new life to used IT equipment by preparing it for reuse and then donating it to disadvantaged communities.

Companies are invited to donate IT equipment that would otherwise be scrapped and to actively contribute to the digitization of beneficiaries in disadvantaged areas.

Donate IT equipment and support digital education!

Public and private entities in Romania are invited to submit used laptops, monitors, central processing units and notebooks which can be refurbished and donated to schools enrolled in the program "School of Ecoterrians".

The campaign runs between May 15 - October 31, 2025, and the equipment is handed over by completing

How the campaign works:

• May 15 – October 1: public and private entities register and request the takeover of IT equipment.
• May 15 – October 1: equipment is collected by authorized operators, thus companies receive the necessary documentation to remove the equipment from management.
• May 15 – October 10: the equipment is refurbished by the Workshops Without Borders Association. Strict standards are also followed for deleting data from refurbished IT equipment, to ensure confidentiality and information security, using specialized software.
• 14 – 31 October: equipment prepared for reuse is donated to the beneficiary schools enrolled in the project.
