Utilizing Geofencing Technology for Enhanced Nonprofit Engagement and Outreach


The article "Geofencing for Nonprofits: Engaging Donors and Volunteers Through Location-Based Strategies" discusses innovative ways nonprofits can use geofencing technology. Geofencing, a location-based service, allows organizations to send targeted messages to people's smartphones based on their geographic location. This technology is particularly useful for nonprofits seeking to engage more effectively with their community, donors, and volunteers. By setting up virtual boundaries in specific areas, nonprofits can trigger notifications, alerts, or specific content directly to a person's phone when they enter or leave a geofenced area. This tool is powerful for event promotions, awareness campaigns, and enhancing engagement in localized initiatives.

Empowering Change: Samvedna's Fight Against Caste-Based Exploitation in Madhya Pradesh


In the heart of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, the NGO Samvedna combats caste-based sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Their focus is on education, gender equality, protection, and livelihood for marginalized communities. Samvedna, in six districts, engages with over 5000 Bedia children in 60 villages, aiming for systemic change through collaboration with government bodies and NGOs. The story of Niru, Nilu, and Shipra from a small village in Madhya Pradesh highlights Samvedna's impact. Born into a community trapped in intergenerational prostitution, these girls' lives changed through the Udaan program.
