Programme
Sponsored technology
Funded access to software and equipment for churches that cannot afford them, paid for by donors and CSI partners.
Why it matters
Good tools cost money that many organisations do not have. Sponsorship covers the cost, so the church pays nothing, and the digital skills programme makes sure the tools are actually used.
Where the foundation pays Shepherd Suite (Pty) Ltd for software licences, the price is fair and at arm's length, approved by the board, and the conflict of interest is declared and minuted.
Registered objective
To provide or sponsor access to technology, software and equipment for under-resourced organisations, particularly in rural, township and underserved communities.
