Claude-powered AI tools for African NGOs — fundraising, M&E, program delivery, and admin/operations. # AI for African NGOs — Showcase Claude-powered tools that help African NGOs raise money, prove impact, and deliver programs — built for real African conditions: low bandwidth, multiple languages, WhatsApp-first, and data-protection-aware. This is a **public showcase** of four representative tools — one from each pillar of a larger suite.
