These partners "work to Digital Pipeline’s Policies and Standards and ensure that legal, data protection, quality and environmental issues are addressed for donors and beneficiaries."[3] A major partner over the years has been Microsoft [4]

From 205 to 2011 it sent more than 1000 computers to its clients. The initial focus was on schools [5]but now also includes libraries, clinics, universities and other projects [6]
