Violence: Real Picture

Ushahidi is a website created by a group of Kenyan bloggers to capture accurate, comprehensive, eyewitness information on the violence around the country. People who witness acts of violence can report the incidents they've seen, and they will appear on a map-based view for others to see. Ushahidi creators are working with local Kenyan NGOs to get information and to verify each incident.

What you can do is get the word out about Ushahidi so that it’s utilized to it’s full potential. This especially extends to talking to the people that you know who have seen things in Kenya and getting them to the site as well. You can also help by using the contact form to volunteer to help with the tracking and verifying of each incident.
