Charity Grants Can Help Tech Solve Social Ills In Africa - Ventures Africa
Charity Grants Can Help Tech Solve Social Ills In Africa - Ventures Africa: Loren Treisman, trust executive for grant-making foundation Indigo Trust, believes that time has come for more charitable organisations to tap into technology to tackle social issues in Africa. Indigo Trust funds tech projects that seek to bring about social change on the continent.
