About the SAIA Africa in Washington website
     
    We are providing this website because of the great numbers of agencies and activities in the greater Washington DC
    which are focused on Africa. We think we will eventually list approximately 500 such agencies. Our perception is that
    it is not easy to know or find out about the multiplicity of enterprises, in both public and private sectors, governmental
    and non-governmental  located in Washington that do important work on behalf of the people and institutions of Africa.

    It is our hope that the website will have particular utilitarian value to Africans in their home locations.

    For the time being our plan is to provide a "low maintenance" website- which essentially means that the presentation
    of the content will not become out of date too quickly. When more resources are available we will move toward daily
    updates and additions of relevant material. In addition, the use of minimal graphics will increase the numbers of users
    who can use the web site more efficiently and with less expense. We plan to make this a SEARCHABLE web site.

    The cooperation and contributions of folks who have information will increase any benefit this website will have.

    VOLUNTEERS with information management and website design and construction skills are invited to inquire.
