I did a stint as a humanitarian analyst for the US government (where I spent more time advising them on new technologies than I ever thought I would) to see what it was like to leave the tech field altogether, and in 2005 I won a two-year fellowship supporting the NGO Pact in Cambodia on a women's microfinance program.

Now the bad news: the international NGO sector saw a decline in online giving. African countries are the primary users of mobile banking and a hotbed of innovation in this field like the Safaricom M-PESA mobile payment system in Kenya. Monthly giving programs in particular have seen explosive growth, with revenue growing by 43 percent.

Note from Beth: Lately, a question on my mind is whether or not the concept of Networked Nonprofits is a global one as I’ve had the opportunity to share some of the ideas beyond the US borders in Kenya and UK. I think Pratham Books , an NGO in India, is a networked nonprofit.
