SANGONeT (Thusanang)
Website: sangonet.org.za
The SANGONeT website is a development information portal for non-profit
organisations (NPOs) which provides an extensive range of ICT
(Information Communications Technology) services to the local NPO
sector. Although many South African NPOs are already active users of
ICTs, much more needs to be done to build the capacity of the sector in
order to facilitate effective social change and this is SANGONeT's
vision. The site provides information on fundraising and hosts the Prodder Directory,
a free, searchable database of NPOs, development agencies and donor
foundations and trusts. Organisations can enter and update their own
details online. The donor organisations were previously featured in the
separate Thusanang Donor Database but this has now merged with the
Prodder Directory.
