Make an Impact with SD4Africa: How to Launch a CSR Initiative at Your Workplace

Why SD4Africa Matters

In Sub-Saharan Africa, feature phones remain the primary means for women to access essential information. Without reliable internet connectivity, many depend on offline resources. Audiopedia’s SD4Africa initiative repurposes micro SD cards into valuable offline knowledge resources. These small cards empower women with crucial information about health, safety, and economic opportunities, transforming entire communities through education.

For CSR managers and employees looking for tangible, meaningful impact, SD4Africa offers a unique opportunity: it's simple, measurable, and scalable.

Your Workplace Can Make a Difference: Build an SD4Africa Collection Box

Launching an SD4Africa campaign at your workplace is easy and engaging. By collecting used micro SD cards, you directly support global gender equality and environmental sustainability. Here’s how to start:

1. Download and Print
First, download our ready-to-use SD4Africa box template. Print the label and attach it to a sturdy box or container.

2. Set Up and Communicate
Place your collection box in a visible, high-traffic area within your office. Communicate your initiative clearly to colleagues via email, newsletters, or intranet announcements—encourage them to donate unused micro SD cards (128 MB and up).

3. Amplify Your Efforts
Post pictures of your SD4Africa box on your company’s social media channels or intranet, tagging them with #SD4Africa. Showcase your commitment to sustainability, digital inclusion, and gender equality, inspiring even broader participation.

4. Send and Track Your Impact
Once you've gathered the cards, securely erase personal data (recommended but optional), and mail the cards to:

Audiopedia Foundation
Hahnenbachstr. 21
76855 Annweiler am Trifels, Germany

Include your email address to receive updates on how your contribution makes a difference.

No SD Cards? No Problem!

If your employees don’t have SD cards available, consider facilitating an employee giving campaign. Donations help purchase and distribute SD cards loaded with educational content, further supporting Audiopedia’s global mission. Check out Audiopedia Foundation on CSR platforms like Benevity or Goodstack to get started easily.
