In more than 10 countries, Kobo has supported us on key projects ranging from humanitarian aid to ending violence against women and promoting economic empowerment. To date, we have collected more than 1 million data points to reach over 100,000 direct beneficiaries and 500,000 indirect beneficiaries through our combined efforts.”
