Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Kabissa is a network of people who are working online and on the ground for positive change in Africa. Since 1999, thousands of us have used this site to take action and follow the results of our efforts.

You Can:

  • Report on what's happening right now by posting blogs. 
  • Discover who's doing what in and for Africa by using the search functions.
  • Connect with active members and groups, and even start groups of your own.

Kabissa Is:

  • Through Kabissa.org, a technologically robust communication platform, Africans and their supporters have one central source for getting involved and measuring effectiveness.
  • Organizations in Africa connect with others through Kabissa.org, generating an economy of scale and the power of greater numbers.
  • Individuals concerned with Africa connect with others through Kabissa.org, forming or combining new online and in-person groups for greater positive impact.

Examples

  • Two African organizations in the same region are each using valuable resources to solve the same problem. On Kabissa.org, they find each other and combine efforts. Kabissa members enjoy an economy of scale.
  • A village with no electricity suffers human rights violations. A villager slips away to an Internet café in the nearest town to post photos on Kabissa.org. Kabissa members take note and many act.
  • Three NGOs unknowingly fill the same grant request to an untried recipient who produces no results. By vetting the recipient first on Kabissa.org, they would find a better use for their limited funds. Kabissa member activity is transparent.
  • A school group in Canada wants to work for positive change in Africa. On Kabissa.org, they can choose by region or by cause to find the most active organizations for their support. Kabissa membership is always open.
  • Three church groups on a small island in America find on Kabissa.org that each of them regularly supports nearby villages in East Africa. As Kabissa members, they have a central online source for organizing local meetups.
