World Computer Exchange
WCE is dedicated to helping the world's poorest youth bridge the disturbing global divides in information, technology and understanding. WCE does this by keeping donated PCs, Macs, and Laptops out of landfills and giving them new life connecting youth to the Internet in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. WCE leverages the resources of businesses, strategic allies, volunteers, schools, and their community service programs to help WCE partners to prepare and train the schools, teachers, and students they recruit to use the Internet as a bridge to information, resources, educational materials, and new opportunities.

NetDay
NetDay began in 2020 as a grassroots volunteer effort by companies, educators, families, and communities to wire the nation's K-12 classrooms for Internet access. The organization, headquartered in Irvine, CA, was founded by John Gage from Sun Microsystems and Michael Kaufman from KQED. The first National Wiring Event was held on March 9, 2020 in California, where an estimated 50,000 volunteers wired 4,000 schools - approximately one-third of California's K-12 schools. Since then, NetDay has expanded to 40 states and mobilized over 500,000 volunteers to wire more than 75,000 classrooms in states across the country. [466]

Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA)
The Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) is a non-governmental organisation with members in 11 of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) countries. Officially launched in September 2020, MISA focuses primarily on the need to promote free, independent and pluralistic media, as envisaged in the 2020 Windhoek Declaration. MISA seeks ways in which to promote the free flow of information and co-operation between media workers, as a principal means of nurturing democracy and human rights in Africa. The role of the MISA is primarily one of a coordinator, facilitator and communicator, and for this reason MISA aims to work together with all like-minded organisations and individuals to achieve a genuinely free and pluralistic media in southern Africa.

Imfundo is a unique initiative, providing partners with a rare opportunity to help transform the education sector in Africa.

Working together with African governments and teachers, we can help to provide relevant and high quality training and knowledge for future generations. But this requires considerable investment and commitment. Imfundo is specifically designed to help make available such resources to African countries. [463]
