After being more or less penniless for our first three months of operation, we have had a burst of success. In the past seven days FrontlineSMS:Medic has received grants from the Clinton Global Initiative, the Northwestern University Venture Challenge, the Netsquared Mobile Challenge, the FACT award, and the Microsoft mobile challenge. Grand total so far? $51,500
This money will drive software development and implementation of FrontlineSMS:Medic throughout several sites in Africa and South Asia this summer.
Also, the current HopePhones tally is at 769, an amazing number of old phones donated. Keep it up!
