The polls have closed here in Kenya. We have received over 6670 reports today from Kenyan citizens around the country and from the 700 Uchaguzi observers at the polls.

"I’m reminded that one individual is capable of making a difference; that the Internet can be a tool for mutual support; and that partnerships for social good make sitting at a computer and working with people around the world an experience filled with genuine humanity. It is an incredibly rejuvenating reminder."

Emerging themes from citizen reports to the Uchaguzi platform on Kenyan election day.

Dear Angela, We would like to publicly share an apology to you, for the sexual harassment that you experienced while employed at Ushahidi. Sexual harassment is abhorred anywhere, and we are devastated that it happened here at Ushahidi, where we stand for human rights and aim to build a world where the disadvantaged can raise their voice.
