A network of gender based violence responders in the Kibera slum are educating young women and girls about how to prevent and respond to sexual violence. They would like to have an SMS shortcode that connects with a responder who can help lead victims to appropriate legal, psycho-social and medical response (via @jlundine)

Map Kibera is already mapping assets of the slum community. People who live there should be able to query the MK database thru SMS and find out where to go for medical help and other needed services. Local service providers could then also register the phone #s that query so they can send out relevant info.
- activism website for informal school network in Kibera 40 weeks 5 days ago
According to Kenyan law, informal schools that meet a set of criteria can receive public funds. Many of the schools in Kibera meet the criteria but have not received the funds. The informal school network is looking to leverage Map Kibera to make an activism website that identifies the exact location and characteristics of all the schools that meet the public funding criteria but have not received the funds (@mapkibera)
- microfinance loan tracking tool 40 weeks 4 days ago
We would like to track the numbers of women, numbers of groups, amounts saved by each group, loans issued on a weekly basis. Since this is not microfinance, the women keep the money in their homes as they are supposed to be using it to grow business, hence needing to borrow regularly. We have the same programme in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi. A mobile software would help where each group sends information to a central database perhaps running on opensource. This database can be accessed to anlayse the data. Anyone who can support this programme?

Mass texting system that provides rural village with emergency info. Satellite phones will be provided and distributed by a prestigious mobile phone service such as AT&T or Verizon. This will provide a decent amount of capital and investment for such an extensive project, while allowing for a charitable donation for that company. Regions will be “hot spot” designated, and will be managed and operated individually to provide the specific nature of the information. Regional managers will also train individuals on the system.
- Visualizing Community Realms of Influence 39 weeks 6 days ago
I would (as would many in the non-profit sector) love a way to map
relationships between orgs/staff/initiatives that could be easily
accessible via mobile and linked to GIS and related databases.
It would be a hybrid of social mapping: (http://blendingthemix.com/
2009/07/22/possibly-the-best-facebook-friend-mapping-tool-to-date/)
but the "realms" of influence could be sorted/arranged based on area
of focus--i.e. health, education, etc.; or neighborhood--South Ward,
North Ward; City...whatever field is most relevant to the individual
