A powerful impact when you buy a Born Again refurbished computer

NOTE: Unfortunately, due to supply issues, we've had to discontinue our range of refurbished laptops and computers.

We don’t just use digital technology to talk about what we’re doing – it’s part of how we’re doing things in our projects around the world.

From providing cash transfers in emergencies like the Haiti earthquake to the innovative Pink Phones Project in Cambodia which gives women farmers the latest farming information using mobile phones, technology enhances our work and empowers people living in poverty to build a brighter future.

Now we’re using technology to raise vital funds for initiatives like these with the introduction of our new Born Again range of refurbished computers.

Available online and in selected Oxfam shops, prices start at just €120/£99 for a desktop and €180/£150 for a laptop.

Mobile phone technology has allowed women like Vansy, who lives in a rural community in Cambodia, to access the latest farming information such as weather patterns and crop prices. Oxfam’s Pink Phones Project has transformed women’s lives by enabling them to buy bigger plots of land, sell more vegetables and build a sustainable livelihood.

Excellent quality, great value, environmentally friendly and helping to end poverty – these are pretty amazing computers!

Sourced from companies who are changing over to new hardware, each one has been lovingly restored, tested and supplied with a fresh operating system and applications, plus comes with a 6-month warranty. 

To make it easier to pick your perfect computer, the range is divided into three specs/usage categories, including student-friendly Surfer, family-orientated Plus and the powerful Pro which is ideal for small businesses. 

Yoshi Nolan, a student from Tullamore, Co. Offaly, recently bought a computer from her local Oxfam shop. “I am absolutely delighted with my new computer,” she says. “It’s great to get a good laptop at a reasonable price and it’s also nice to know that the money is going somewhere good.”
