Africa
Africa is the birthplace of International Cooperation programs. ORT initially undertook educational projects in the 1960s due to its experience in Francophone nations and related proficiency in French, as well as its existing schools in Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria.
Over the 50 years, IC expanded its training and technical assistance programs in response to the rapidly changing African environment.
Services were expanded to include agricultural training centers, agroforestry, rural and urban development, transportation, mother and childcare health and nutrition, ICT, and management and technical training for government ministries, public utilities, and commercial enterprises.

World ORT International Cooperation's raison d'être is « helping people help themselves »
