BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship centres (BCAAFC) in partnership with TELUS will be distributing mobile phones to Indigenous women and girls who otherwise would not have access to cellular communication.

The phones will come with one year of nationwide talk & text + data from TELUS, made possible through the TELUS Mobility for Good program. If you are a BC resident, you can apply through one of the Aboriginal Friendship Centres. Please feel free to contact us to help you with your application.
