Mobile technologies helped people or organisations to jump into information technology bandwagon especially in rural Africa where there was little or no previous infrastructure. As mobile phones and related technologies are gaining more and more popularity, innovative people are finding more ways to benefit from them. There are so many applications in this area that are worth to mention that this article wouldn’t be enough to cover. So we are going to look into a few common mobile application examples that are utilised by non-profit organisations only. For more information, case studies, applications I would recommend checking a most comprehensive database on this subject,

“When citizens start to bring joy, beauty and a sense of possibility back into corporate South Africa; we have a chance to create an alternative future.” writes Louise van Rhyn of Symphonia. How do we do this, I ask? She continues by saying” Appreciate someone today. The neuroscientists tell us that the ratio of Appreciation to Criticism should be 5:1 in order for people to think well and do their best work. Start your meeting today with an appreciation round – ask every person to say what they appreciate about being a member of this team and see how different this meeting goes. Tell your colleagues that you love them (today, while you still have the chance – why wait until their funeral / leaving party to tell them that they brought joy in to your life?)”

On yet another article of our series “ICT for Decision Makers” we will look into Mobile technologies. This article is a brief introduction to mobile technology concepts aimed at non-technical decision makers. We will cover how to make use of them for you, i.e. applications, in a following one.
Of course I am not telling how to talk or SMS on the cell phone here… I guess you can teach me that better. We will talk about infrastructure concepts for your organisation if you consider providing services to your constituents, fund raising or working in the field with mobile technologies. Then on another article we will look at the types of applications.

We have had a massive fire season before, during and after the Soccer World Cup. In the midst of the sporting frenzy, the inhumanity of the newspapers, of the elected and unelected officials, and even among other charities and the general public, was tangible. Almost no one cared that infants as young as one month old, three months old, six months old, were left sleeping outside in temperatures of zero degrees Celsius in Marlboro. All the papers wrote about was soccer, soccer, soccer. Even the foreign media that has a fascination with reporting bad things on South Africa, did not care about a few hundred poor black homeless Africans.
