Project
nGOmobile is a competition aimed exclusively at grassroots non-profit Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) working for positive social and environmental change throughout the developing world. “Behind the scenes, the often unsung heroes of the NGO community battle against the daily realities of life in developing countries, where it can take all day to fulfil the simplest task” said Ken Banks, Founder of kiwanja.net. “These people don’t lack passion and commitment, they lack tools and resources” said Banks. Grassroots NGOs around the world are invited to submit short project ideas explaining how greater access to mobile technology – and SMS text messaging in particular – would benefit them and their work.
