Update on Kabissa Connections - Honored By Outpouring of Support and Appeal for your Vote in FACT Social Justice Challenge
I have been following the FACT Social Justice Challenge and have been honored by the outpouring of support for the KABISSA CONNECTIONS project in the comments (see below) and number of fans. It appears the other African projects we support are also doing well which I find tremendously gratifying.
If you have not yet decided on all 5 projects you want to vote for and share our vision for empowering African organizations at the grassroots, please consider adding KABISSA CONNECTIONS to your ballot. Our project will help build their repuation online by revealing the many positive relationships they have with each other and with international organizations, foundations and online networks.
Since there is no open leaderboard, please also tick the star or "add to my bookmarks" link on the Kabissa project page to help us see how we are doing. Add a comment too if you have suggestions or ideas for how you might use the platform.

Elecronic Peace Building
Water conflicts are fast becoming a serious problem toward development of Kenya and Africa in general, the climate change on the other hand is not helping much either. Many, including various African governments, are trying their best in solving these situations but are not able. This is reason why this project is taking an innovative and comprehensive approach which involves, metering in various water schemes, water harvesting and storage in schools, holding of peace building workshops in affected areas and sharing of successes and new innovative ideas in a website established for this purpose. See: http://www.netsquared.org/projects/violent-water-conflicts-kenya-s-ewaso-ng Please support and make comments on this project.
