  • 80% of NGOs trust Microsoft Windows when it comes to computers and Apple iOS when it comes to phones and tablets.
  • Only 41%  use encryption to protect their data. 
 

Differences in the use organizations do of technology by continent

 

In Africa

  • 74% of NGOs have a website (compared to a global 92%).
  •  55% (compared to a global 72%) have an online donation platform.
  • To contact their donors they use: WhatsApp (69%), Facebook Messenger (52%), Viber (4%).
  • Facebook  page  (85%) Twitter (62%) Linkedin (39%).
  • Google Android is the most popular system.  

In Asia

  • 81% have a website, and 86% of them have a mobile version.
  • Compared to 2017, the use of donation platforms has spreaded 9%: nowadays, 56% of Asian organizations have an online donation platform.
  • To contact their donors they use: WhatsApp (69) Facebook Messenger (52%) Viber (9%).
  • Facebook (86) Twitter (62%).
  • 62% trust Google Android.

 In Europe 

  • 97% have a website,  and 86%  of them have a mobile version.
  • 59% of the European organizations that took part in the report accept donation online.
  • To contact their donors they use e-mail: only 17% of them use mobile apps for their organization, especially WhatsApp.
  •  Facebook (94%), Twitter (80%), LinkedIn (58%).

In North America 

  • 98% have a website, and 88% of them have a mobile version.
  •  56% of the North American organizations that took part in the report accept donation online, the same as Asian organizations.
  • Facebook (97%), Twitter (85%), LinkedIn (63%)  and Instagram (61%).
  • To contact their donors  they use e-mail: only 10% use mobile apps like WhatsApp and Snapchat. 

In South America 

  • 88% have a website, and 87% has a mobile version.
  • 56% of the North American organizations that took part in the report accept donation online.
  • To contact their donors, 40% of them use mobile apps instead of using e-mails.
  • Facebook (98%), Twitter (71%), Instagram (55%) i LinkedIn (41%).

     

What can we learn from it?        

Globally, organizations still have a long way to go about the usage of free code OS such as Linux-Ubuntu. Almost all organizations use Microsoft instead, and there is a general lack of interest in data encryption and cyber security.

On the other hand, if we compare the Asian case with the African case we notice that Asian organizations use technology only slightly more than the African ones. This is strange if we think how technology has become much important in many Asian countries, and it may imply that, unlike Asian companies, Asian non-lucrative organizations are still disconnected.

​ When it comes to social networks, the usage of Facebook is remarkable in worldwide organizations. Both in North America and South America the social networking is diverse, even if Facebook remains the leading channel. The usage of a wider range of social networks should globally offer better audience results. However, from iWith.org we recommend small organizations to concentrate their efforts in a couple of social networks and not trying to update many of them in the same time.

Una vez más, reactivando un sueño compartido.

Una vez más, reactivando un sueño compartido.

 
Los retos, las dificultades y las cosas imposibles siempre están ahí.
Pero tenemos un sueño hermoso y ambicioso que quizás se podría resumir
en esta cita de de Amador Fernández-Savater:

“No pensar en “salir de la crisis“, sino abrir en ella una bifurcación. Convertir la “crisis civilizatoria” en “mutación civilizatoria“.
No agarrarse desesperadamente a algo, sino emprender un viaje. No
contener el derrumbe, ni soñar con revertirlo para volver donde
estábamos, sino abrir y sostener otros mundos aquí y ahora: otros modos
de relación con el trabajo, el cuerpo, el lenguaje, la tierra, la
ciudad, el nosotros, etc. Aprovechar la crisis, hacer palanca en la
fuerza vulnerable… …Una oposición que no es sólo ideológica o
partidista, que no es sólo defensiva o resistencialista (aunque por
supuesto haya muchísimas cosas que defender), sino sobre todo afirmativa
y de paradigma, con planteamientos (teóricos y prácticos) de mutación
civilizatoria en torno al trabajo, los cuidados, la familia, las
relaciones, etc. Un mundo solo se para con otro mundo.”

Esto nos lo contó ayer Fernando Prats del Foro de Transiciones en el cierre de Quorum Global.
Un espacio de encuentro que nos superó: 250 personas inscritas para
dialogar y compartir cómo andamos de aferradas a este sueñito que
cambia y coge formas diversas con los años, pero que de repente nos hace
compartir un techo y las ganas de seguir empujando.

Para
nosotras, este grupito de soñadoras empeñadas en mantener Quepo a
flote, está siendo un reto poner todo lo que hemos aprendido estos años
al servicio de este diálogo imprescindible que nos tiene que hacer (como
ayer rezaban los hashtags) Reconectarnos, repensarnos y repolitizarnos
(y añadiría requetecuidarnos) para hacer el sueño posible. Reto
asumido, sueño compartido y unas ganas enormes de seguir acompañando y
facilitando este diálogo.

Vamos de ida, no de vuelta.
Nos queda mucho por construir pero a mi y a mis ambiciones les encantó
sentiros ahí ayer. En lo presencial y en lo virtual. Gracias!

Five applications to change the world

Five applications to change the world

Entities and non-profit organizations have long sought to make the move towards mobile applications, both to receive donations and to facilitate and promote voluntary social action. Here you have six applications for the social good that can be useful for your entity.

  1.  Reach app encourages users to share photos and videos of their trips. The advertising task of the users makes them earn an amount of money that is then allocated to the non-profit organization they choose.
  2. Take Stance app connects users and congress members by voice message. The politician receives a message to his voicemail, and if the mailbox is full, the application continues ringing until the mailbox is available.
  3. MaximusLife Challenge is an application that rewards the physical challenges that users face. If you manage to do 3 days of yoga, for example, MaximusLife allocates a sum to the chosen organization.
  4. Gone for good is an application that allows users to photograph the belongings they no longer need. A truck goes home to pick them up and deliver them to charitable projects.
  5. GiveTide connects with the credit card of the users, who for every transaction made allocate a sum to the organization they choose.
