Hello,
I am a New Zealander recently introduced to Digital Divide. I have found some wonderful articles posted. Keep it up. Well I'm not sure if anyone out there can help me but. I'm currently doing volunteer work for a NGO, Charity in Kenya. The organization is Maasai Education Discovery for anyone interested. www.maasaieducation.org <http://www.maasaieducation.org/> . Anyway. They have various programs where they need computers and a decent set of servers to keep them running. And so I have been wondering if anyone out there knows the best strategies, organizations, websites or methods to request computer hardware /software to be donated to a developing country NGO by large organizations. I have started emailing the big global companies like IBM, HP etc requesting to make contact so I can request donations and or form partnerships with them to use there products and teach them in the school we are involved in. But I think this method seems a bit lame and worthless unless I know more about how these organization think and under what circumstances they would donate to a charity in Kenya with nothing to offer them. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really appreciate some help or a point in the right direction here. What experiences have others had? Anyone have tips / contacts you can give me?
