Why minihub?
NGOs involved in community interest, human rights,
environmental or social justice work need communications systems which
are appropriate to their needs. They need to network with other organisations
easily, efficiently and cost effectively, to disseminate important information
to the general public via the Internet, and to ensure that the data they
disseminate or hold is kept secure. More importantly, these organisations
need control over their information and the systems associated with its
transfer and storage.
An organisation such as minihub, based on non-profit
and non-commercial principles, is needed not only to provide appropriate
technology systems, but also to ensure full and effective empowerment
of grass-roots organisations in the area of electronic networking. Minihub's
focus remains on building the capacity and skills base of local groups
through developing small information delivery systems and training programs
to go along with them. It is only through initiatives such as this that
small, non-profit groups are able to use the internet's full potential
as a medium for communication.
