Background
dipoleDIAMOND “DDL” offers a Automation for Good Program (AFG) to non-governmental organizations, charities and not-for-profit entities that wish to automate some of their manual repetitive business tasks using automation tools for digital transformation. Automation for Good aims to bridge this gap by providing pro-bono automation support to three selected African non-profits. By automating essential business processes, we seek to enhance their productivity, optimize resources, and enable them to focus on what truly matters – making a difference in people’s lives.
You or the nominated organization wishes to participate in the Program, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
