InterConnection has worked since 2009 to facilitate access to the Internet by providing training, low-cost refurbished computers and Internet services to underserved local and global populations. So far the organization has had a successful and sustainable venture with Interconnection Uganda, developing a business model under which refurbished PC’s are shipped to Uganda for final assembly and some software installation. The project aimed to develop a packaged framework to determine the feasibility of new resale ventures offshore. The package included a spreadsheet-based financial model to analyze the main costs of the operation, along with a general guideline to asses the target market and facilitate the establishment of new operations offshore.

The Slum Doctor Programme (SDP) is a multi-citizen effort to provide hope, medicine, food, education and dignity to orphans and people living with HIV/AIDS in Africa. SDP works to provide emergency medical care in Kenya and help widows in Uganda start their own businesses so they can support their families. The SVC consultants helped develop a strategy to market SDP to potential web-based donors, as well as the tools to build an interactive relationship with the worldwide AIDS relief community. Deliverables included an action plan and a budget for the technological infrastructure necessary to activate the process.
