WAVE

Women Aloud Video blogging for Empowerment (WAVE) is a unique digital platform for young semi-urban Indian women to voice their perspectives on issues that matter through video blogs. One young woman was selected through non-government organizations and colleges from every state in India for an innovative 9-month mentor-ship program, and provided with video equipment, intensive training and monthly stipends for participating in the project.

WAVE was an inspired idea of Sapna Shahani and Angana Jhaveri and took flight after winning a grant from 2009 Digital Media and Learning Competition. 

With this first-of-its-kind citizen journalism program, WAVE aims to share compelling videos that start conversations and builds bridges across global boundaries to enable the exchange of novel solutions. WAVE hopes that this new video material from areas as far as Aizawl and Trivandrum will not only inspire action within the community, but also engage individuals and organizations working towards development, academics, researchers, and social investors. 

WAVE’s philosophy is that young women in India need to be heard and encouraged to analyze the problems in their communities and go on to become leaders who provide effective solutions in order for society to become socially and economically empowered.

Ujima Project

with inputs: Soubhik C.

Well sourced public data, from all around the world stored in one place. A project through which people can view documents that range from military, environment and economic issues. The project aims to bring collection of databases and documents, among other resources. Through this, it aims to bring transparency in the workings of governments, multinational non-governmental organizations and business enterprises, especially in developing countries.

The Ujima Project paves the way for development in developing countries through the concept of ‘reverse transparency’. The project states that although information on foreign aid, developmental contracts, weapon sales, lobbying among other activities; are easily available in the developed countries, they are hard to come by in developing countries. The Ujima projects steps in here by providing a centralized repository of all such information.

An endeavour by The Center for Public Integrity, an internationally renowned non-profit organization, Ujima project brings to the fore original, responsible journalism on issues of public concern.
