Proud sponsor of Tech4Africa 2012

It is Africa’s premier mobile, Web and emerging technology event and started with the idea that people in Africa shouldn’t have to travel around the world to connect with the best technology minds in the world.

We created Cause accounts three years ago to help registered charities, NGOs and many other charitable causes with their fundraising efforts. We provide them with a free webpage, hosted by us, and discounted rates on the donations they receive. It’s our little way of helping out and giving back where we can. We’re still providing this amazing service; it only got a little prettier and more useful.
