Fearless Web

Fearless Web is a Fearless Planet initiative that seeks to promote selected local people and businesses via our web site in recognition of their help and support for our work.

Having a presence on the Internet vastly increases their exposure to markets outside of their own countries and allows them opportunities to grow their businesses beyond their local communities.

Obtaining this kind of exposure is often expensive and difficult for businesses in developing countries so we are happy to provide free domain name, email and limited hosting facilities on our own web site.

List of current Fearless Web participants:

Nicholas Kowalski - Artist
   
Vida Kwansmaa Donkor - Batik Artist
   
Dodi Products - Textile Products Manufacturer
