"To receive discounted Microsoft products, you must first register your organization at Microsoft's nonprofit portal. Then you'll use the portal to send TechSoup Kenya a certificate that validates your organization's eligibility for discounts. The certificate lasts one year.

No certificate is required if you are only requesting donated Microsoft software offered through TechSoup Kenya.
