Our vision is that each individual should have at his reach tools and information for empowerment.
howtopedia is a diffusion platform of practical knowledge and simple technologies, i.e. technologies that require no complex machine, that are easily explainable and usable by individuals or small communities.
howtopedia promotes the collaboration and knowledge transfer between organizations and individuals across borders and helps small scale sustainable development by facilitating the dissemination of appropriate technology and stimulating the use or the discovery of local resources.
Internet is a powerful media, which more and more people are aware of as an inestimable source of information. The specific resource for development aid is increasing constantly, but there is a need for a one-stop information place addressed to the broad public. Our objective is to become the reference for people looking for resources for empowerment.
howtopedia collects, translates and centralises practical knowledge and simple technologies with the goal to foster the diffusion of know-how towards individuals and communities, making information accessible in local languages and communicating actively about the availability of this collection.
The content is protected and we actively build a community of experts publishing information on the website. This guarantees the quality, the follow-up as well as the link to the relevant contacts.
At this very moment, www.howtopedia.org has 269 articles.
