Overview

Hikaya means story in Arabic. Hikaya's mission is to help nonprofits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to tell their story of impact through data and technology. They work alongside international development and humanitarian organizations of all sizes to assess their digital needs based on the principles of digital development and lay the groundwork for their digital transformation roadmap.

Hikaya achieves this by introducing a set of integrated tools that re-engineer how data is used within organizations. By building open source solutions on common data standards, they improve the delivery of goods and services to those most in need while making reporting to funders more transparent.
