Ushahidi builds tools for democratizing information, increasing transparency and lowering the barriers for individuals to share their stories. The Ushahidi Platform allows anyone to gather distributed data via SMS, email, web, Twitter, Facebook and voice mail and visualize it on a map or timeline. Ushahidi’s goal is to create the simplest way of aggregating information from the public for use in crisis response, early warning, development and anything you may have in mind!
