About [Edit]
Since 2003, kiwanja.net has been helping local, national and international non-profit organisations make better use of information and communications technology in their work. Specialising in the application of mobile technology, it provides a wide range of ICT-related services drawing on over 22 years experience of its founder, Ken Banks. Non-profits in over forty countries have so far benefited from a range of kiwanja initiatives, including FrontlineSMS and nGOmobile

kiwanja.net believes that all non-profits,
whatever their size and wherever they
operate, should be given the opportunity
to implement the latest mobile technologies
in their work, and actively seeks
to provide the tools and the environment to enable
them to do so
With a key focus on developing countries, and a particular
emphasis on
low-cost, grassroots, sustainable solutions,
kiwanja.net is unique in that it
combines a strong business
and technology background with a degree in
anthropology
and
over 15 years conservation and development experience
in countries including Nigeria, Zambia, South Africa,
Uganda,
Zimbabwe, Kenya, Mozambique and more recently,
India
kiwanja.net's work is innovatively and uniquely centred around three complementary areas:
Inform
Firstly, providing mobile-related
information to those who need it most
Advise
Secondly, once they have it, helping them make sense of it
Act
Finally, once they understand it, providing the tools to help
them act on it
