Ushahidi Information

Ushahidi is a global not-for-profit technology organization that develops integrated tools and services to enable people to generate solutions and mobilize communities for good. We build our open-source software to empower people through citizen-generated data to develop solutions that strengthen their communities. Our users are equipped to rapidly and purposefully gather, analyze, respond and act on data and information. Since our founding in 2008 as a tool to monitor and map post-election violence in Kenya, Ushahidi’s crowdsourcing tools have been used by thousands of groups and millions of people to raise voices, inform decisions, stop suffering and influence change.
