Cloud hosting for NGOs in Rwanda.
Beneficiary data carries obligations to donors and to the people in it. Local hosting answers both at once, on a budget in francs.
The problem this sector actually has
Development organisations working in Rwanda hold beneficiary records, survey data, case files and photographs. Donor agreements and the Data Protection Law both have views on where that sits, and a foreign consumer cloud usually satisfies neither cleanly.
Beneficiary data stays in the country it is about
Records about Rwandan people, held in Rwanda, under Rwandan law. The simplest answer to both a donor audit and a data protection review.
Replace consumer file sharing
Private file sync and share with your own accounts and your own retention, instead of personal drives and messaging apps holding programme data.
Predictable budgeting
Invoiced in Rwandan francs with no egress fees, so a grant line does not get eaten by exchange rate movement or a surprise data transfer charge.
Small start, real controls
You do not need an enterprise contract to get encryption, access control and audit logging. They come with the platform.
What ngos teams run here
Deployed pre-configured into the Kigali or Huye region, with credentials issued at first boot. You pay for the server, not the software.
Questions
We are a small organisation. Is this affordable?
Web hosting starts at RWF 4,400 a month and a cloud server at RWF 17,700, invoiced in francs. There are no egress fees and no per-user licensing on the open source applications.
Can we meet donor data requirements?
Bring us the requirement. We map it control by control and put the residency and processing terms in the agreement.
Can we move off Google Drive or Dropbox?
Yes. Nextcloud gives you the same sync and share experience on a server you control in Rwanda.
Tell us what you are running.
One conversation with someone who runs the regions. No pitch deck. If the honest answer is that you do not need us, we will say so.
