We are a community for builders of free and open source software that serves as digital public goods to humanitarian organizations, international development agencies, non-profits, non-governmental organizations, and charities that strive to create positive social change in communities around the world.

To put it more simply: Our member projects build critical tools that support people making the world a better place. These tools sit at the intersection of international development, humanitarian reponse, and peace-building. Because those tools are open source, people and organizations have the guaranteed freedom to use them to build innovative solutions that help achieve the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
