What is MobiChange?

MobiChange will be an open-source, multi-lingual mobile social networking platform, accessible by voice and SMS, designed to support local communities and help mobilize social change.

MobiChange will be the first social networking experience for millions of mobile phone users who have limited ease with English and use a $50 mobile phone as their only computing device. It will allow them to do some of the things we take for granted on social networks — meeting new people with common interests, benefiting from new opportunities for learning and earning, even sharing their own knowledge and skills with others.

MobiChange will work in close collaboration with grassroots NGOs and NPOs to customize its open source code base and use it as a powerful development tool in the areas of education, activism, and micro-enterprise.
