The Ushahidi project is a platform which allows users to report important information by utilizing their smartphones. They can use video, pictures or text message to report the problems that are occuring in realtime. Ushahidi uses a filter so that they can plow through all the messages and find out what is really going on instead of having to go through the massive amounts of data that is transmitted on Ushahidi.

I think that phrase "the crowd does not lie" can be utilized in the technologies that we have on hand. If one were to use their twitter account, facebook or other networking sites to report immediate problems the urgency would be evident to others as people report personally on what is happening. You can have one person saying something and it might be wrong but if a mass of people in separate areas are saying the same thing then you can pretty well bet it is true.

n the year 2020 the girls and women that I have helped will be happy and
confident. The world will be changed greatly because my women have
advanced their lives by coming together under the Idea that all people
are valuable no matter what their station or condition in life. All life
will be valued and therefor both sexes, men and women, will learn what
it means to care for their fellow man in a humane and moral manner. Wars
are no longer fought but hard won…

I have come to this day for a purpose. I am not here to elevate fear. I am hear to help women fear less. The thing that most people need to know is that rape and other physical abuses are the most common problem for women and young children. As I have said before just about all the women I know have had someone molest them at one time are the other. I want women and children to know that they can arm themselves with knowledge and learn to keep an eye out for those who would hurt them.Because I…

Hello this is Sunny Du Pree and I come live with an amazing groundswell of activity from the local community. Here in Amarillo, things have really been difficult as many people struggle to keep their home and body together. Many go homeless and unfed. But there is a new hope surrounding these desperate people as we see by their faces. "Sir, sir, can you please tell me what is happening"? "Yes mam, said the cowboy. "Me and mine we got sick of seeing people go without so we got our churches,…

I have made a Kiva loan to Juliana Antonia is 53 years old and is still active at her age. She
sells sodas and has been working in this business for 3 years. She

within her neighborhood and know her. She is well liked by her clients
for the charisma she offers them. She is requesting this loan to
purchase fruits, juices, sodas, and sweets. Her desire is to extend her
business.

The barter system is a very old system indeed. For centuries humans have used it to trade for goods and services all over the world. I think that this is an excellent system should the money system fail us. We all have talents to share for services or goods. Under the barter system though, we as a community will become closer as we realize that everyone is connected and that we need to take care of our weak and elderly. We will come together as a community and then as a world wide system with a…

Men, Women and children have made changes in their daily habits with water so that no drop is wasted. Places where there…

I am putting out an URGENT EVOKE. I know that people become polarized to issues but do not let one person highjack this game. Everyone must follow the rules of the game. It is dishonorable in the spirit of the game not to do so. I know that this game is of value and worth. There is no big conspiracy here folks. Time to get back to the real Urgency of what other issues are going on. There are new people to help and inspire. I have gained from this experience and see that others have also. Lets…

I am posting my Pivotal moment quest on here for it will not let me post my moment entirely and I really needed to have that moment so here goes. Fasten your seat belts it might be a bumpy ride.
I am taking a stand for a relationship with Jesus Christ. I have been in so many situations that were dire at the time and when I call out to Him he directs my path. I take a stand that there is a God and he wants the best for us if only we follow the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would…

Under the bread basket of the United States lies a valuable resource of water that includes South Dekota Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. These are the regions that supplies at least one fifth of the total annual U.S. agricultural harvest. If the aquifer goes dry, more than $20 billion worth of food and fiber will vanish from the world’s markets. And scientists say it will take natural processes 6,000 years to refill the reservoir. In some places the…

My favorite time of the year is Fall. I dream of the colors that are on the trees. Yellow, red, orange and brown a kalidescope of whirling leaves and crisp fall air. Today is a beautiful day because we are celebrating Thanksgiving in Texas. I invite all of my friends and family to the energy producing house that I have designed and built. On my roof I have solar panels because, in the Desert of Texas, sunshine is in abundance even on that clear day. The c**ulus clouds are puffing up in a…

This was not my idea but i feel the need for a little humor and silliness to add to the amazing ideas that people have.
Scientists around the world are clamoring to design inexpensive biochips to quickly test for a variety of
diseases. But no one has been able to make a similarly small and
inexpensive
power source.
Lee and his team of researchers at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology have
tackled this problem by using the very…

Hello my fellow Evokians
I had a dream around twenty years ago and when i woke up i knew that it was something that I want to make. If I could make this I will add jobs where there are none and help our ailing economy.
I want to make a car that is very lightweight and the shape is semi-spherical. The method of running the car is such that there is a ball in the place of the eccelerator . You would use your foot to spin the ball which causes an electromagnetic induction.…
