We live in an elderly or impoverished area where not many people use computers. Can MTN still be useful?

Yes, MTN has been designed to be very user friendly.  MTN is similar to shopping on Amazon.com.  If they can check email or have ever bought anything online, they can use MTN.  Actually, it is easier than online shopping because they’re not putting in credit cards and waiting for approval.  MTN gets very few complaints from anyone about having trouble signing on to meet needs.  Thousands have used MTN to register successfully for volunteer opportunities and events, both young and old, both technology proficient and technology averse.

However, it should be noted that in some communities and churches, online tools will not be the only way churches and charities to find volunteers and connect people to opportunities to serve.  Trends in the business and social networking world point to increasing adoption of online methods of communicating. People in all age groups are becoming increasingly comfortable with online searches (putting in criteria, getting results that fit, and selecting the one that suits them best) and they enjoy the convenience (being able to do so at midnight on Friday or Sunday afternoon).  But some people will still want to sign up on paper or by phone, which can work well in combination with MTN because you can adjust the number of people or items still needed by simply changing that number next to each need on your MTN Dashboard.
