This project is one in a series of projects developed at the Global #HackForGood in Nairobi, Kenya. Powered by Ericsson and Refugees United.

Description:
- The team’s project is aimed at making it easier to register refugees through registration platforms such as J2ME and SMS/USSD. Further, the team has worked on an online web registration system that has additional/finer details that will make it easier for a refugee to be located successfully especially when basic parameters e.g. the first and last names are similar.
How will this project benefit refugee families?
- This project will allow simpler and faster registration coupled with provision of finer details about a refugee in a camp. As such, more families can be reconnected since a finer search, provided by more details about a lost one during registration, will lead to more narrowed down search results, thus raising the possibilities of reconnecting lost ones to their loved ones.

Hundreds of families are reconnected
through our work every month, often after years of searching for their missing loved ones.
Any donation will help separated families reconnect.
