FAQ - Why doesn't STDA have a professional website?

2011-08-18T16:17:00.000-02:30

We refuse to waste money on advertising and marketing for our charity. We are geared towards using the most money as possible to buy school supplies for the African children. Helping children succeed in education is most important to us NOT hiring a professional web designer or company.

Plus, we think our current website serves the purpose.
