Working together to create positive change
Our Life’s Work
We are working towards systems and services that can provide low cost services to the groups on the ground who are creating massive change with a fraction of the resources that the big organisations enjoy.
Tech and support is the most important component in creating positive change, as outlined in the Philanthropy: Towards a Better Practice Model report.
Social Enterprise
We have been running as a social enterprise since 2000, using profits from our commercial work to fund our pro bono and grassroots activist work.
By using our commercial services, you are directly funding our probono grassroots work, as well as our training programs.
