About Ushahidi

Ushahidi is a nonprofit organization that develops open-source software to help individuals and organizations collect, visualize, and map data for social impact. Founded in 2008 by Kenyan bloggers to track post-election violence, Ushahidi has since expanded its mission to support crisis response, human rights advocacy, and election monitoring worldwide. The platform has been used in over 160 countries, and the organization collaborates with global partners such as Cisco, Google.org, and USAID. Working at Ushahidi means being part of a passionate team committed to social justice, inclusivity, and transparency. You’ll collaborate with a diverse group of innovators and advocates to improve lives by helping communities turn information into action with the Ushahidi Platform. Whether it’s supporting disaster relief efforts, promoting fair elections, documenting social injustices, or empowering women to address violence, your work will contribute to meaningful, global change.
