Summary

A grassroots Capacity Building Network MANGO Net stands for “Made in Africa NGO Network”. Its goal is to build a network of NGO based schools of computer assembly and maintenance. Based in several African cities, these schools will offer training in computer building technology, while at the same time producing locally assembled computers, during lab sessions. These computers are sold ad locally affordable prices, generating income for the schools, and supplying local institutions with brand new, state of the art computers. The project will also help graduate students corporate in small, local computer assembly businesses, starting a grassroots movement that will create jobs and lay an infrastructure for a new industry.
