in<br>> the DR Congo to track unrest, Zambia to monitor medicine stockouts<br>> and the Philippines to track the mobile phone companies.<br>><br>> It is now being used in the Haiti Earthquake disaster.<br>><br>> NB: Ushahidi has strong Kenyan roots with a bulk of the Ushahidi<br>> Platform developers coming from Kenya and the wider Africa.<br>><br>> -- <br>> Muthoni<br>><br><span>> My Blog: <a target="_blank" href="http://rugongo.blogspot.com/">http://rugongo.blogspot.com/</a></span><br>> --------------------------------------------<br>> Mahatma Gandhi once said:-<br>><br>> First they ignore you,<br>> Then they laugh at you,<br>> Then they fight you,<br>> AND THEN YOU WIN!!!<br>><br>><br>>
