OrphanIT Inc - Sustainable Telecentres

OrphanIT Inc is our fully registered NGO based in the Philippines. OrphanIT's first major project was the creation of the Philippines first ICT Telecentre for disadvantaged youth from Tondo, one of the poorest slums in the Philippines. The centre, located in Ermita, Manila was created with CMED partners CCT. Since then we have gone on to assist more than a dozen Technology Learning Centres around the world with their education programs and curriculum and were profiled in the prestigious Harvard Business Review in an article entitled 'Serving the World's Poor, Profitably' in reference to our successful 'Remote Services' employment programs.

We understand that strong, sustainable communities are vital to fostering a healthy business. Our community investment is inspired by the engagement of our people in a broad range of activities with our key non-profit organisation - OrphanIT.com. Our contributions take the form of our people’s time, knowledge, mentorship and experience, as well as financial donations and grants from our firm. At OutsourcingTo.uS we don’t just allow our people to support worthwhile community activities, we totally encourage them!

To help us to continue to strategically direct our support to community organisations, OutsourcingTo.uS does not accept unsolicited applications for funding. This view is embedded into the culture of our company and is articulated as one of our cornerstone values. To this end we are working to provide opportunities for graduates from telecentres to undertake ICT internships leading to full scale jobs within our commercial outsourcing firm and non-profit ventures.
