Project Tech4Dev

Project Tech4Dev is dedicated to helping nonprofits use technology and data to amplify their impact. We know that many nonprofits face challenges with costly tech, limited in-house expertise, and scattered data. That’s why we offer open source platforms like Glific, Development Data Platform (Dalgo), and Avni—tools designed to be affordable, practical, and easy to use.

Glific, for example, helps over 100 NGOs reach more than 1.3 million people through automated WhatsApp communication, exchanging over 80 million messages. Dalgo enables nonprofits to bring all their data together for better decision-making, while Avni empowers field workers to collect data offline, supporting over 50 programs and 6,000 users. Beyond tools, our Fractional CxO Program places experienced tech leaders with nonprofits to strengthen their tech and data strategies. So far, over 250 nonprofits have embraced Tech4Dev platforms. At Tech4Dev, we believe technology should be accessible and a force for good—helping every nonprofit do more, reach further, and create lasting change.
