Charity sees the need, not the Cause

Project Background

“TechAccess started working with Excellousgroup in 2021 where a robust Socio-Economic Development Grant Program was implemented that enabled us to start creating a strategic relationship with an NPO for strategic giving, that’s close to our heart as a corporate. Great Poroza was chosen because of the fantastic work that they do in communities, by driving social change and impact through ICT learning. For TechAccess, this was something that tied into the value system of our organisation, in developing core IT skills for youth in underserved communities.”
