Looks like a GREAT model
There is obviously a great need being addressed, as Daniel commented. I do wonder about the theoretical/pedagogical approach; i.e. whether you allow for the empowerment of local nonprofits to learn and grow in their use of technology or whether they remain dependent on your help and training. I also wonder about the accountability between your group and the nonprofits and communities it serves.
That said, this is clearly a worthwhile endeavor and I think it is one of the clearest manifestations of the work NetSquared is trying to do.
