The Southern African NGO Network (SANGONeT) and the Arid Lands Information
Network (ALIN) have launched TechSoup Kenya, an online technology donation
portal aimed at the Kenya NGO sector, on 17 June 2009 in Nairobi, Kenya.

TechSoup Kenya 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 Kenya NGOs with an opportunity to access
software and other ICT solutions at discounts of up to 95% of the retail
value.

In order to benefit from TechSoup Kenya, NGOs must be registered with the
NGO Coordination Board as a non-profit organisation.

For general information about the programme and its restrictions, click here.

NGOs interested in ordering software available on TechSoup Kenya should
first check their general eligibility here.

If an organisation meets these requirements, then check the specific
eligibility requirements of our initial donor partners, Microsoft and the
International Commission on Workforce Development, here.

If you qualify for at least one of these, then register for the programme
here .

The product catalogue can be viewed here .
