*Invitation for Feedback* - @RISEIntSF just submitted our solution to @SolveMIT a marketplace that brokers partnerships for global social impact. We're building technology that accelerates school-based humanitarian aid for refugee children - https://t.co/5jNw9w4yfV
The WFP school meals program provides important nutrition and drives refugee school attendance. The RISE platform links attendance to the school kitchen and offers transparency throughout the system.

It’s official! RISE won an OpenIDEO Design Challenge that comes with funding from Australian Aid! The grant allows us to build out our refugee-aid software, and scale.
We will leverage this traction to propel our mission ever upwards and ever forward! https://t.co/4NZt7waeLR
@OpenIDEO what a beautiful image! It says to me: beauty can be found in the simplification of the complex, and that is the essence of Human Center Design and Systems Thinking. What an inspiring image!
I’m happy to share that I joined an incredible team at Juma Ventures as their National Program Director. I will remain on as Chairman of RISE – and share leadership with my Co-Founder. Some major announcements coming up all lead me to believe 2018 is going to be epic!
