Friends of the Earth (FOE)
Where are they?
Hong Kong
What do they do?
Friends of the Earth (HK) (FOE) is dedicated to protecting the environment locally and regionally by engaging government, business and society in promoting solutions to create environmentally sustainable public policies, business practices and lifestyles. It was established as a charitable organization in 1983 and today is one of Hong Kong's most prominent green groups.
How big are they?
They currently have a membership of more than 6,000 individuals.
What did they receive?
Microsoft Office 2007 Standard and Office Professional Plus 2007
The outcome?
Due to limited resources, FOE had shelved the plan of upgrading Microsoft Office 2000 to 2003 / 2007 for 2 years, which had caused the group some inconveniences . For instance, Office 2000 Outlook only provides 2GB email space which is not sufficient for storing old emails. And the PowerPoint version of Office 2000 cannot resize the pictures. But after FOE upgraded to 2007 through TechDonation, Office 2007 solved the problems mentioned above and improved effectiveness overall. It’s a great example of how TechDonation helps the NGOs reduce costs and improve organizational efficiency.
