One of TechSoup's less-known areas of work has been to support and promote the work of other tech-for-good organizations, like Ushahidi in Kenya. The organization got started when a group of Kenyan bloggers led by Erik Hersman began doing online mapping of violence reports after the 2008 Kenyan election. So much innovation.

Ushahidi was originally designed as a tool for mapping reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election unrest in 2008. The disaster in Haiti is a perfect example of these changes: the impact of the Real-Time Web and the power of our phones.
