What is a Technology Center?
Technology
Centers are decentralized meeting places that empower people to engage in
creative problem solving. They work
to develop, investigate, promote, and evaluate simple technologies for improving
health, protecting the environment, and encouraging economic independence.
|
|

Each center develops its own programs organically based on community priorities
and the skills and interests of its staff and volunteers, but they work together
to share ideas, experiences, and data. They
also provide links to international organizations, funding opportunities,
and partnerships with university students from around the world.
|
|
The vision of the Technology Center
is to create a local space for sharing ideas and hope, for uniting people
educated in universities with those educated by the land, and to encourage
the use of everyone’s creativity for solving the health, environmental, and
economic problems that afflict local communities as well as all of humankind.

How
You Can Help!
Provide
power to a Technology
Center by donating solar panels
or funds to purchase them. We need
$1,500 to provide 300-400 Watts of solar power (with batteries, charge controllers,
and inverters) to each of our centers. Such
a solar array would be sufficient to provide power for a UV water treatment
system open to the public, a computer with internet, and simple lighting. Click here for more details.
Provide
communication and educational resources by helping us
install internet access in the technology centers. For and a monthly fee of we can provide
internet access for one center to use for communications with international
partners, research on new technologies, and ease of financial and project
report backs to donors.
