Ushahidi
We are a non-profit tech company that develops free and open source software for information collection, visualization and interactive mapping.
What is the Ushahidi Platform
We built the Ushahidi platform as a tool to easily crowdsource information using multiple channels, including SMS, email, Twitter and the web.
Manage the River of Information
SwiftRiver is an open source platform that aims to democratize access to tools for filtering & making sense of real-time information.
Crowdsourcing In "the cloud"
When you need to get the Ushahidi platform up in 2 minutes to crowdsource information, Crowdmap will do it for you. It’s our hosted version of the Ushahidi platform.
Mapping data is important for “accountability”. The fact that people see their report it is the biggest motivation to engage them.
