Refunite

The problem

The mobile-enabled solution, LevelApp, will improve people’s resilience and recovery before, during and after humanitarian emergencies and make them less dependent on external aid.

The company

REFUNITE is a non-profit organisation established by two Danish brothers, David and Christopher Mikkelsen with the stated mission to “help refugees and internally displaced persons search for their missing loved ones.” It focuses on online and mobile solutions to help families reconnect.

Project description

LevelApp is a micro-tasking platform which provides users (refugees in Kiryandongo settlement, Kampala and Uganda’s rural communities) with a small income for each verified “task” or correctly categorized image completed through their mobile phone.

REFUNITE’s Data Categorization Application creates instant revenue generation for refugees via a simple mobile phone interface that lets users engage in image categorization tasks that are in high demand by various industry players.

There are different levels as users become more skilled, to a point where they become ‘qualified’ to work on commercial datasets.
