Welcome to Message in-a-box!
“We have used Message-in-a-Box as a resource for our citizen journalism work, and in amplifying women's voices. Combing tools and the tactics to use them, is a great way to put technology in context. Tools are only effective if they are matched with effective planning, good strategies and when they are matched with skills and resources - Message-in-a-Box delivers information on doing all this.” Sally-Jean Shackleton, Executive Director, Women's Net, South Africa. http://www.womensnet.org.za/
