LETS GO BACK IN TIME
PHONES FOR PROTEST
●
No cost to supporters
●
Supporters receive briefing and are put through to target
●
Form is sent to supporter for feedback
●
A missed call instead of sign a petition
●
Campaign for anti-corruption legislation in 2012
●
80 million people placed a missed call to show support
●
SMS used to publicise and organise
HOW WILL WE USE MESSAGING APPS?
●
Group members pledge money to sponsor hard hit families
Money deposited into a bank account set up 1970 by a Somali entrepreneur, and photo of the receipt posted to the group ●
A committee of five withdraws money from the account and buys basics for the sponsored families – rice, powdered milk etc ●
“Kwitt” is a fast way for young people to transfer small amounts between themselves through a mobile app ●
A chatbot that offers its service to young people via Facebook Messenger – persona is muscular colossus ●
We are researching, developing prototypes - Huge potential? - Or no potential?
THANKS!
