Ushahidi, which translates to "testimony" in Swahili, was developed to map reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election violence in 2008. Since then, thousands have used our crowdsourcing tools to raise their voice. We're a technology leader in Africa, headquartered in Nairobi, with a global team. We are a social enterprise that provides software and services to numerous sectors and civil society to help improve the bottom up flow of information.We believe that if marginalized people are able to easily communicate to those who aim to serve them, then those organizations and governments can more effectively respond to their communities' immediate needs, while simultaneously bringing global attention to their problems through the aggregation of their voices.
Ushahidi makes crowdsourcing, visualization and interactive mapping tools for social good, giving people a voice to share what happened, when and whereever they are in the world. That mission is in the name "Ushahidi", which means "Testimony" in Swahili.
Ushahidi's free and open source software is now being utilized by organizations big and small in over 159 countries for purposes like monitoring election fraud in Zimbabwe of sexual harassment in Egypt. The software Ushahidi continues to create - Ushahidi Platform, Crowdmap, Crisisnet, Swiftrner and Pingapp - are open source, free, and intended for a range of social purposes worldwide, whether it be to monitor elections or a crisis, gather crowdsource data about violence against women, collect data on human rights violations, or to map corruption instances.
Tenfour is a team check-in app that helps reach your people on any device, confirm they are ok, and get in touch. We built this tool so teams could be prepared and reach each other everyday and in a crisis.
