Dadamac Foundation is a UK registered charity (number 1104228). 
Dadamac Foundation passes on all it is given, it makes no deductions for administration.
Where external fund-transfer services are used these agencies will make their usual charges, we try to keep the use of such agencies to a minimum .
Dadamac Limited supports Dadamac Foundation in various ways, such as making staff time available to support the Foundation when there are not sufficient volunteers.
We have launched our discussion forum. Now it will be easy for people to join in discussions here. Now dadamac.net can gradually become an active online space for the growing Dadamac community.
To join in all you have to do is go to the discussion forum link choose the discussion topic that interests you and add any comments you like. You can reach the discussion forum link from any page; it is under the heading "get involved".
The idea of dadamac.net is that is should be an "online home/office/clubroom/study-space/whatever-we-need" for the growing dadamac community (which welcomes newcomers). We started off by "preparing the reception area" i.e. the home page and such like (this area needs more work - fewer words, more pictures - but is well under way).
In rural Nigeria when you need new furniture you don't go online or pop 
round to the nearest Ikea for a flat-pack. You employ a local carpenter to buy some wood and make the furniture that you need.
The Knowledge Resource Centre was in need of furniture it could call its own, and this was mentioned at a recent UK-Nigeria team meeting.
Thanks for clicking this link. Your easiest next step is to simply e-mail me, pamela.mclean@dadamac.net , to explain who you are and to start exploring our overlapping interests.
We connect with people in many different ways. You may want to connect with our work on a commercial basis through Dadamac Limited, or with our voluntary work and social programs through Dadamac Foundation, or you may find that we can collaborate simply because it is mutually beneficial and we are all learning something useful in the process - Dadamac Open Knowledge.

We have been asked to explain the relationship between Dadamac Foundation and Dadamac Limited. It is causing some confusion for people who think it must be like the relationship between, for instance, Ford and the Ford Foundation or Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (i.e step one: become a great commercial success; step two: share the resulting financial wealth through philanthropy). Dadamac is very different. We didn't start on the commercial side and then create the foundation. We started with our voluntary work and are now at the start of building our commercial operation (Dadamac Limited). We don't have financial wealth; our wealth is harder to quantify.
We have been supporting Oke-Ogun Community Development Network (OCDN), Attachab Eco-Village and the Yoghurt Project, and we hope to fundraise and help Zittnet with its last-mile connectivity.
The connection with OCDN goes back to Pam's early links with Ago-Are. The update is that Fola and PD are exploring ways to get the InfoCentre at Ago-Are connected to the Internet. Dadamac Foundation is supporting Fola with the cost of going online (more about this in the Dadamac Learners' news).
For supporting projects that John Dada or Pamela McLean are working on as true volunteers. We need direct donations, and fundraisers, and people to help us raise the profile of these projects.
Please say if you want to direct your donation to a particular area of work (health, training, vulnerable children, equipment, etc)
We need people to give time as well as people to give money.
