Software DonationsSoftware donations offer Microsoft an opportunity to provide technology tools that are greatly valued by the NGO community, helping them to enhance the impact of their initiatives in the communities they serve. In an environment where the challenge of long-term financial sustainability continues to dominate internal NGO decision-making, the cost associated with technology investment impacts on the importance attached to building NGOs’ technology infrastructure and strengthening their work accordingly. In response to this situation, the Southern African NGO Network (SANGONeT) is very pleased to announce the launch of SANGOTeCH (www.sangotech.org), an online technology donation portal aimed at the local NGO sector. SANGOTeCH aims to assist NGOs by providing software and hardware for very low or discounted fees in conjunction with ICT donor partners, as well as by supporting NGOs to maximise their ICT purchases and infrastructure. It will present NGOs with an opportunity to access software and other ICT solutions at discounts of up to 95% of the retail value. For more information please go to: www.sangotech.org |
