MacKenzie Scott and Dan Jewett just announced support to 286 teams empowering voices that the world needs to hear. I am honoured, proud and incredibly grateful that Ushahidi is among this list of impactful organisations.

In this post, I reflect on my two years of leadership that led to this investment.

Today, on Giving Tuesday, we’re launching a new way to support Ushahidi’s work that is directly tied to the impact our deployers create on the ground. We’ve partnered with Momentum, to create a new donation page: https://give.ushahidi.com, which enables our supporters to donate on a recurring basis. You can now tie your donations to the number of reports collected and published on Ushahidi maps.
