My story
15.07.09 - Update
BioMed Central's staff have been busy fundraising
through monthly coffee mornings, a pub quiz, skydiving, a live music gig, a wine-tasting evening, raffles
and a sweepstakes. Four members of the editorial team will be joining
Computer Aid on a cycling tour around Chile this September to help us
reach our target.
Background
As part of its ongoing commitment to promoting open access in the developing world, BioMed Central has teamed up with Computer Aid to support research in Africa. We have chosen to support Kenyatta University in Nairobi to help local scientists to conduct vital research directly relevant to local problems in one of the poorest parts of Africa. We aim to raise £10,760 in order to provide a container of 225 PCs to the university – enough to give all research departments their own dedicated suite of computers.
How you can help
If you'd like to help us reach our target of £10,760, simply make a donation via this page. It's quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor this project: Computer Aid International gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
