OVER THE PAST DECADE, INVISIBLE CHILDREN HAS CONNECTED REMOTE COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL AFRICA THROUGH ITS EARLY WARNING SYSTEM, FACILITATING TWICE-DAILY CALLS AMONG COMMUNITIES IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST INSECURE PLACES, AND THUS INCREASING THE SAFETY OF MORE THAN 300,000 PEOPLE. THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS OF ARMED GROUP ACTIVITY REPORTED BY THESE COMMUNITIES THROUGH THE EARLY WARNING SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY INVISIBLE CHILDREN'S CRISIS TRACKER IN NEAR-REAL TIME, AN INNOVATIVE CRISIS-MAPPING SOCIAL WEB PLATFORM, ENSURING THE WORLD CANNOT IGNORE THE SAFETY ISSUES FACING THESE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS.
