Welcome to Virtual ActivismWhen Virtual Activism first started unofficially in 2000 and then officially in 2001, it had many partner organizations across the globe.Our first project was designing and hosting websites for nonprofit organization when there was only a handful of organizations that had any websites. We also conducted online training courses on using the Internet, and then later, when we began receiving the generous grants from the Ford Foundation's Cairo office, we also began a series of physical workshops in Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia. We trained civil society institutions, human rights activists, development workers, journalists and judges. We also organized workshops in Kenya with the support of the Population Council in Nairobi. Here are some of our partner organizationsand campaigns for whom we created websites:
