We connect African organizations to a living, friendly ecosystem of developers and users worldwide, helping them implement effective, sustainable solutions for their vital work.

Responsible engagement
Throughout Africa we collaborate with skilled and dedicated teams whose expertise and professionalism shape our work. At the same time, these partnerships exist within societies where structural social and economic inequalities remain a daily reality. Operating from Europe, we remain mindful of this context and seek to ensure that our work strengthens, rather than extracts from, local ecosystems.
We put this approach into practice in several ways:
- Education and mentorship for local CiviCRM developers to build technical skills and expertise
- Fostering local communities and knowledge exchange around CiviCRM and open-source technologies
- Partnerships and capacity building with organizations to strengthen digital sovereignty and data governance
In South Africa, we also continuously adapt our company structures to meet the requirements of B-BBEE (Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment) certification, while ensuring that similar principles of local engagement guide our work across the rest of the continent.
