Apposit.org is the not-for-profit arm of Apposit.

It's mission is to effect positive and sustainable social change in the environments in which Apposit operates by leveraging the core competencies of the company in non-profit work.

Embedded in the founding vision of Apposit is a commitment to dedicate a meaningful portion of Apposit’s resources to socially responsible initiatives, including not-for-profit work. Apposit.org formalizes this vision by defining the policy and strategies and creating the organizational structures to realize this vision as a well managed component of Apposit.

Apposit.org focuses on youth, education and technology in Africa – Apposit believes that sustainable development is grounded in education and the impact of education is strongest and most enduring on the youth. Apposit’s core competencies are strongly centered on technology. For these reasons, Apposit.org targets projects that provide education or educational benefits to youth in the area of technology in Africa, where Apposit operates.

Apposit.org promotes open source – One of Apposit’s founding principles is, “to pioneer and promote the use of appropriate open source technologies in the developing markets in which it operates.” Apposit believes that open source products can provide significant, cost-effective value to institutions without sacrificing quality. Apposit.org aims to use open source technologies in its educational efforts, developing valuable skills for sustainable development.

Apposit.org develops and works in partnerships – Apposit realizes that its core competencies in technology and project management are but one component of the array of skills required to effectively execute successful development projects. Apposit.org partners with local institutions in the areas it operates.

Apposit.org engages in developing sustainable projects – Apposit.org is not a typical philanthropic organization. Apposit takes a skeptical view of the long-term benefit of direct financial aid as a means of sustainable development. Although efforts may require initial investments, the fundamental design of its initiatives must include a modality medium to long-term self-sustenance.
