Register for the Techsoup Kenya Technology Donations Programme

The Techsoup Kenya programme aims to assist NGOs in Kenya by providing software for very low fees in conjunction with ICT donor partners (currently Microsoft), as well as by supporting NGOs to make the most of their ICT purchases and infrastructure.
The Techsoup Kenya programme is brought to Kenya by Arid Lands Information Network (ALIN) in partnership with SANGONeT and TechSoup Global.
Here is how it works:
Organisations should first check their general eligibility for the programme. If your organisation fulfills these requirements, then check the specific eligibility requirements of our initial donor partner, Microsoft . If you qualify then register for the programme.
In addition to the information you supply online, you also need to fax us a copy of your organisation's NGO Board Number and Pin Number Kenya Revenue Authority documentation. The documentation should be faxed to: 254 20 273 7813.
We will confirm your organisation's eligibility status within 5 working days of receipt of this documentation.
If your organisation meets the required eligibility criteria, confirmation will be e-mailed to your organisation's registered e-mail address. It will contain a link to the Techsoup Kenya logon page, and a description of the donor partner products for which you are eligible.
We hope that you will be able to take advantage of the products and information offered through the Techsoup Kenya programme.
