Their geographic reach is now limited, but if your technical area meets their needs and their geographic location meets your interest, perhaps you might be able to work something out.

I have done some charity work with Camara, which has similar goals. Send 2nd hand computers to schools in Africa.

I knew someone who worked for Geeks without Borders, which from my understanding does indeed help small businesses in the developing world set up IT and the like, so there may indeed be room there for a business apps programmer.

To get an idea of what they do (and to see three of the awesome roles they’ve had):
