IICD starts new way of fundraising for her projects

Until now it was not possible to directly fund projects of IICD in Africa and South America. But that has changed. On the AKVO platform, just like IICD one of the partners in the Connect4Change Alliance, you are now able to select your own project and donate directly to this particular project! An example is the Computers for education in Northern Ghana
of Savana Signatures for a better education for children in schools in Northern Ghana via computers. You can donate NOW

Over 1000 students of a basic and junior high school Savalugu District, Ghana get better access to educational information with this project by using computers. Computers are placed in the school and teachers are trained to use these in their courses. Students become better educated and therefore have more chances to go to senior high school. Teachers benefit as well because by using computers, it will take them less time to prepare classes and they are better equiped to teach.

The Education Support Network pilot project set up by One World Africa in Zambia provides poorly resourced schools with teaching materials.
