About [Edit]
ShareIdeas.org is an online community and wiki for sharing ideas on how to use mobile communications for social and environmental benefits.
The site is facilitated by a team of ambassadors and Nokia Technology Institute (INdT) in Brazil, which is a non-profit R&D center created by Nokia, based on Informatics Law, in Brazil. Read more on their website
ShareIdeas.org was created with support from Nokia and Vodafone, but belongs to the growing global network of individuals and organizations that use this virtual gathering place to communicate - and collaborate.
The idea for ShareIdeas.org came from Ndidi Nwuneli, founder and CEO of LEAP Africa, a Nigerian NGO dedicated to nurturing a new generation of African leaders.
"Groups like ours would really benefit from a resource that shows us how to use mobile technology to carry out our work more effectively," said Ndidi at a Nokia stakeholder event of NGO and corporate leaders.
ShareIdeas.org was created in response to Ndidi’s request.
