Mankiwwa the Social Change application of Sri Lanka. If you
have not heard of Mankiwwa as a Sri Lankan you should. It's a mobile
application that you can lodge complaints and social services. This is made for
citizen empowerment to report anything from a roadside water leak, illegal
garbage dumping, taking it all the way to a roadside accident or a robbery.
Mankiwwa has won so
many social accolades over the past year. Getting them noticed in the social
change and digital infrastructure circles of Sri Lanka.
This is not the
reason why they are silent heroes, it is because they travel all over Sri Lanka
trying and getting appointments with local authorities to educate them of the
application and trying to sign them up. It is because they are empowering citizens
silently where they already have users reporting such incidents and local
authorities having a spark of light to green light the application.
They also have been
taken note by Child Protection in Sri Lanka. They are trying hard to change Sri
Lanka one person at a time, one authority at a time.
NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES
Cheers!
