Kabissa

Kabissa is a network of people and organizations 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.

In Kiswahili, kabissa  means “completely” – an apt name for a central online connection open to all. By connecting with others who care about Africa, members 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.
• Follow and support each other by using an array of online features.

Kabissa members are working on all levels: community, national and global. Activities range from working to reduce HIV/AIDS, promoting sustainable development, championing women’s rights and fostering the democratic process through technology and communication.

“I have been involved in Kabissa as a member since 2003. I am continually excited and inspired by the work Kabissa is doing for the African nonprofit sector at the community and national levels. It is inspiring to read about groups such as the Maasai Women Development Organization who promote economic, political and social equality of Maasai women. Without Kabissa, it would have been difficult to know about these and countless others.”    Neema Mgana, Kabissa Board of Directors
