Thank you very much for sharing this valuable opportunity, Kathy.

At OrphanHub Foundation, we are deeply committed to advancing digital
inclusion, accessibility, and technology empowerment for underserved
communities across Africa. Initiatives like the .ORG Impact Awards plays a
very important role in recognizing and amplifying mission driven
organizations creating meaningful social impact globally.

We look forward to exploring this opportunity and appreciate PIR’s
continued support for the nonprofit and public interest community.

Best regards,
Emmanuel N. Vitus
Executive Director, OrphanHub Foundation
