# Unused mobile data is donated as cash to UNHCR’s work in Syria - Link: https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/02/23/leftover-mobile-data-is-donated-as-cash-to-unhcrs-work-in-syria/ - Published: 2016-02-23T23:59:23+00:00 - Author: Howard Lake **#Datadonate is an initiative from Swedish mobile operator Three in which leftover mobile data is turned into donations to benefit UNHCR’s work in Syria.** Swedish users choose how much of their data allowance they would like to donate, and Three donates an equivalent cash value to UNHCR. You can donate up to 10 Swedish krona per donation, and up to five donations per month worth a total maximum of 50 SEK. ## Advertisement The programme is available only to individual users of Three, not business users. Although originating in Sweden this form of giving is likely to spread. The technology behind [#datadonate](http://tre.se/datadonate) has been released as an open source- type solution for other mobile operators to use.   ![Donate the value of data to UNHCR with Three's #datadonate](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads. cloud/2016/02/donate-data.jpg)   > Nu kan du omvandla din outnyttjade datamängd till pengar som vi donerar till UNHCR. > [#Datadonate](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Datadonate?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > [#Neverstopsharing](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Neverstopsharing?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > [https://t.co/VqZcYrZuHC](https://t.co/VqZcYrZuHC) > — Tre Sverige (@3Sverige) [February 23, 2016](https://twitter.com/3Sverige/status/702085326395670529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) * **[Giveacar raises £2 million through donated cars](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/07/08/giveacar-raises-2m-donated-cars/)**( 8 July 2016) * **[Disability charity receives world-first beach chair](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/10/18/disability-charity-receives-world-first-beach-chair/)**( 18 October 2016) * **[Irish businessman donates holiday home to charity](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/29/holiday-home-donated-charity/)**( 29 November 2016) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
