Not-for-Profit Category
* Winner: African Woman and Child Feature Service – www.awcfs.org (represented by Wambui Gicheru, IT Director)
Judges’ Comments: The well articulated presentation of women and children’s issues both in design and content, make this a sure winner. AWCFS builds capacity to report on gender issues and addresses the needs of a marginalised community. It is very extensive and covers many areas affecting women in Africa.
* Runner-up: Kalahari People’s Network – www.kalaharipeoples.net (represented by Lesley Beake, Editor/Manager)
Judges’ Comments: This website provides a virtual space for networking and exchange of information among contemporary Kalahari communities and individuals throughout Southern Africa. The judges said it was a useful community portal and its focus on a marginalised community makes it stand out.
