Our goal is to enable underrepresented groups to learn programming in a safe and collaborative environment and expand their career opportunities.

We work on behalf of non-religious people who seek to live ethical lives on the basis of reason and humanity. We promote Humanism, a secular state, and equal treatment of everyone regardless of religion or belief. Our celebrants provide non-religious funeral, wedding, and naming ceremonies.

Survival International

From their website:

We’re the only organization that champions tribal peoples around the world. We help them defend their lives, protect their lands and determine their own futures.

Our work is preventing the annihilation of tribal peoples. We give them a platform to speak to the world. We investigate atrocities and present evidence to the United Nations and other international forums. We support legal representation. We fund medical and self-help projects. We educate, research, campaign, lobby and protest. And we won’t give up until we all have a world where tribal peoples are respected and their human rights protected.

We provided pro bono consulting for Survival International.

Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain

From wikipedia (website here).

The Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain represents former Muslims who fear for their lives because they have renounced Islam.

We provided help in mitigating a DDOS attack targeting their forum. We currently help by paying for ongoing DDOS mitigation services.

Future contributions

It is highly likely that we will continue to contribute to the above charities and others with broadly similar causes.
