Food and Communications inequity keeps low-income families down over generations. Learn how Creighton Community Foundation is using SMS to bridge the Digital Divide and level up their community.
Poor access to nutritious food and lack of internet connectivity are two anchors that keep many low-income families out of the game and without a chance to get ahead. Most people in these communities don’t have computers in their household but they do have a cell phone. Jeff Boles of Creighton Community Foundation has created an SMS-based interface that allows them to interact with the 15,000 constituents in their district and gives them access to food box distribution, medical and community-building initiatives.
In this interview Jeff explains how they’ve built their proof of concept SMS-based communications platform and what they’ve learned from the experience. They’re looking to Problemattic to help port their app to a more polished, abstracted system to address key man risk and make it more resilient to changing requirements.
