Povertyinfo.org is a peer-to-peer digital media project for humanitarian ends that has been inspired by Access to Knowledge initiative and Civic Media at MIT. Rather than focusing on poverty’s hardships, it tackles the root causes through innovative solutions and open data-driven strategies that facilitate achieving sustainable development goals(SDGs). In this way, he has been continuously striving to raise the voices of marginalized groups in the least developed countries, placing an emphasis on the human rights dimension of poverty.
