HINT is now a certified ICIP partner with INVENEO, USA

November 16, 2008 by Genesis Leave a Comment

Inveneo is a non-profit social enterprise whose mission is to get the tools of ICT into the hands of organizations and people who need them most: those in remote and rural communities in the developing world.

To do this, Inveneo creates and sells highly affordable and sustainable ICTs that are specifically designed for organizations — governments, NGOs, private enterprises — that serve these rural communities with vital services that include education, healthcare, economic development, relief and telecenters. Our ICTs are designed to overcome challenges that these organizations face:

  • Lack of dependable, if any, electricity
  • Extremely high cost of power
  • Prevalence of heat, dust, moisture and humidity, often punishing conditions for ICTs
  • Lack of affordable access to Internet and telephony services
  • Novice users and administrators

This partnership follows HINT’s participation in Inveneo’s workshop in Cameroon in November 2007.

Becoming a certified ICIP means we can sell and install Inveneo equipment.
