Lift

Our staff is committed to creating brighter futures for families all across the country.
We believe a goal-oriented, relational and holistic approach can change lives over time. That’s why we’re helping parents and caregivers build personal well-being, social connections and financial strength. Each of these elements fosters the other and provides a comprehensive foundation for families, which is why LIFT’s work is designed to build aspects of each into every interaction.

The Guardian Project

While smartphones have been heralded as the coming of the next generation of communication and collaboration, they are a step backwards when it comes to personal security, anonymity and privacy.
Guardian Project creates easy to use secure apps, open-source software libraries, and customized mobile devices that can be used around the world by any person looking to protect their communications and personal data from unjust intrusion, interception and monitoring.

Kobo Toolbox

KoBoToolbox is a suite of tools for field data collection for use in challenging environments. Our software is free and open source. Most of our users are people working in humanitarian crises, as well as aid professionals and researchers working in developing countries. Our team of developers and researchers are based in Cambridge, MA and many other places around the world.

One Laptop Per Child

We aim to provide each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop. To this end, we have designed hardware, content and software for collaborative, joyful, and self-empowered learning. With access to this type of tool, children are engaged in their own education, and learn, share, and create together. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future.
