Title
Human Rights Tech
Description
Humanrightstech is a non-profit organization based in Philadelphia. We leverage information technology to assist and encourage grassroots anti-poverty initiatives. We do this by training organizations to use the Internet to build capacity, create networks of support and broadcast the voices of poor people. We create web-based collaborative tools, establish community-based networking centers, and develop innovative models of the grassroots use of the Internet. The organization serves poor people and their communities, people of both genders and all races, in rural and urban areas, across the United States.
Formed in 1999, Human Rights Tech has nonetheless had an impressive history. Through our Internet Empowerment training Program, we have been able to visit poor communities across the United States, while concentrating our efforts in the Philadelphia area. We have trained leaders in these communities in the use of the Internet, thereby building the technological capacities of grassroots anti-poverty organizations across the country.
We developed the prototype web site for the International Network for Economic, Social and Cultural Human Rights, and we demonstrated the site at the Interim Planning Committee meeting in Capetown, South Africa.
