Launch of the Humanitarian Coding Club
We had the launch of our first Humanitarian Coding Club session in October, at the I.O.Me254 FabLab. The session was graced by the Head of IT and Digital Transformation, accompanied by ICT officers from the Kenya Red Cross Society Headquarters in Nairobi. This came in handy as they got to ask the club members what kind of support they felt they needed from the IT and Digital Transformation departments. This went to show that support can come from far and wide, given that whatever is being produced is something of good quality and high standards. It was exciting to see the flow of ideas coming from our team of devs during our brainstorming session, coupled with future plans for execution. One thing is for sure, they are many opportunities for developing solutions for humanitarian gaps including early warning, emergency response, and overall humanitarian operations systems. This is one strong team we have on-board! With that in mind, we have a bright future filled with exciting inventions coming up ahead.
