Started in 2002, The Papillon Foundation is situated in the heart of the south of Johannesburg, being an area with vast numbers of destitute and unemployed persons. Their mission statement is to empower people to transform their lives…and their communities.
A $2,000 investment enables increased training for unemployed adults and students across townships in South Africa -- a powerful way to improve communities and individual lives.
The SANGOTeCH online technology donation and discount portal is a partnership between SANGONeT/NGO Pulse and TechSoup that links technology donations and the South African NGO sector. The SANGOTeCH programme will assist NGOs in two key ways: by providing software for a very low fee and also by assisting NGOs to make the most of their ICT purchases and infrastructure. SANGOTeCH was launched in December 2006 and was the first to use the Partner Platform.
