WASHINGTON, July 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dharma Platform, an
impact-first, mobile data collection platform, announces its new
partnership with ChildFund International to grow and improve the
speed of outreach to vulnerable children through digital data
collection. ChildFund International has been a leader in the fight
for children's rights and well-being for over 80 years, aiding 19
million children and families in more than 25 countries around the
world. With Dharma Platform's offline, real-time data collection,
ChildFund International will be able to rapidly discover key
insights to effectively shape the work they do to increase
children's safety around the world.
"Dharma Platform's easily configurable interface has allowed us
to co-create contextualized mobile monitoring and evaluation data
collection tools with our implementing partners in real-time," said
Mollie Woods of ChildFund
International, "enhancing their ability to prepare and respond to
some of the most vulnerable populations of children and families in
their communities in effective ways."
ChildFund International promotes a world where every child can
fulfill their potential and realize their rights, safe from
violence, exploitation, and abuse, even in the most vulnerable
communities. ChildFund International's founder, Dr. J. Calvitt
Clarke, developed the person-to-person "child sponsorship" model
that the organization still uses today. Since the organization's
founding in 1944 as China's
Children Fund, it has spread across the globe, first as the
Christian Children's Fund, and now as ChildFund International; a
worldwide force of donors, staff, and volunteers who help to
educate and lift children out of poverty to become productive
citizens of the world.
Reaching vulnerable populations of children around the world is
a challenging task. Often, these populations are inundated by a
variety of inescapable barriers in their environment, subjected to
insufficient access to healthcare, education, transportation, and
housing. With improved, reliable data collection instruments,
organizations like ChildFund are able to collect more data, of
higher quality, in a shorter amount of time, moving them one step
closer to breaking down those barriers. Dharma Platform was built
deliberately as a no-code, user-friendly mobile solution so users
can rapidly design, implement, and scale their programming on
any-device - IOS or Android - regardless of technical skill or
connectivity.
Dharma Platform believes that good data not only transforms the
work of impact-first organizations, but it can save lives.
Thousands of hours of training and manual labor can be repurposed
for more efficient use when data collection is augmented by data
science and visualization software. As a company built by
epidemiologists and data scientists, Dharma Platform's analytical
and statistical toolkits elevate their data insights so that the
application of diverse principles and skills, set against other
world problems, make the unknown, known, and small data, big.
Dharma Platform is proud to be a partner of ChildFund
International in its support and outreach to the most vulnerable
children of the world. If you are interested in donating or
