---->> More about Women'sNet:
Women'sNet is an independent Non-Governmental Organization that enables
and empowers South African women to use the Internet to find the people,
issues, resources and tools they need for women's social activism.
Women'sNet was the first in South Africa to harness information and
communication technologies (ICT) for women's development. We implement
projects, offer training and capacity building and other services to
increase women's strategic use of ICTs to achieve their identified  
goals.
