Participatory action research

We’re engaging in a new strategy called Participatory action research.

We are sending pico projects and camcorders to NGOs with the intention of supporting them from afar. As some of these participating NGOs make meaningful progress, we’ll visit them in person, conduct training and set-up monitoring and evaluation. If you know of an NGO that is curious about using video, please contact us.

Nokero Solar Panels

As you know OMPT provides audio-visual technology to poverty-stricken areas were there is usually no electricity.

We are very excited to have found this power panel especially because it provides 30% more energy than typical panels! Check out there website and let us know what you think!
