About the Project

isearch tries to come up with a better way for families to locate each other by improving the accuracy, efficiency and ease of search.

How It Works

The system seeks to provide these features:

  • People who are searching for their loved ones are provided with facilities that will allow them to team up and exchange finer details about who they are looking for based on where their lost family members were last seen. This provides a group search, which is more efficient than a single person search.
  • The systems provides notifications on new data sets updated on the system (i.e. if a missing person updates their data it will be nice for the person to be updated on the new datasets)
  • The systems serves you with fresh data so that you do not have to search through data that you have already gone through, unless you want to or the data has changed

DONATE
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.
