In 2010 and 2011, teams of over 1,000 local Kenyan and Ugandan scribes have collected 57,220 stories from over 5,000 community members by asking a simple question: “tell us about a time when a person or an organization tried to change something in your community.” These stories have covered a wide range of topics, problems, and solutions. So far, the community members have named more than 1,000 organizations related to something happening in their local communities, but we’re far from done; we received 1,000 stories per month from 2010-2012 from towns and cities across Kenya and Uganda; we are now working to open up the storytelling project to all regions. We are also building and testing tools to turn these stories into data, which turns out to be no easy task. But in the spirit of “Listen, Act, Learn. Repeat.” we will continue searching for better ways to complete feedback loops between communities in need and the organizations that serve them. Browse, filter, and view 57,220 stories collected in Uganda and Kenya.
