The Mobile Web for Global Change with Rowena Luk

Mobile devices have the power to connect people from underserved communities to empowering resources and information. Which is why mobile tech is so critical for today’s NGOs and aid programs to positively impact the people they serve. Special guest Rowena Luk, VP of Strategy at Dimagi, joins the show to discuss the challenges, and rewards, of using mobile apps and tech to drive global change. She details how Dimagi develops apps with a focus on in-field testing, as well as the design constraints that guide their process. She shares examples of other programs that have found success through mobile tech, and we discuss how we can use our skills to push for positive change in our own communities. < Download MP3 >      < Listen on ctrlclickcast.com > Show Notes: Demystifying the Web Series Dimagi Amnesty International 30 Hour Famine Kiva GiveDirectly Tostan International Terre des Hommes XKCD The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Dominion board game Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Review our show on Stitcher Sponsored By
