Technology for Change (TfC) is a nonprofit organization, based in China, that develops web and software systems to support social equity and human development.

We believe that there is great opportunity and scope to leverage computer and internet technology to deliver creative, sustainable and culturally appropriate tools for the public good. It is important that all of technology's potential benefits, from improved efficiency and instantaneous communication to knowledge sharing and community building, are shared by all and do not merely serve the interests of a privileged few.

TfC's work is volunteer-based, and utilizes open source components wherever possible. We are passionate about our work, and adhere to high standards of usability, reliability and maintainability.

Current Projects

In addition to developing software solutions, we maintain the China Nonprofit Technology Blog as a way to promote the sharing of knowledge and best practice in this field. Active since April 2009, this is the only English-language news source focusing exclusively on the use of technology in the Chinese nonprofit sector, providing the global community with a unique window into this fast developing aspect of Chinese civil society.

Our current software project, with the working title HIV/AIDS Resource Express, is a free online service aimed at health workers and community-based organizations in China. Further information about the project will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
