Background

Ideate Innovations Limited is a Tech4Good digital social enterprise seeking to provide digital solutions to end poverty, inequality and isolation in Zambia through creation of digital tools that are people centered and user-friendly.

Our flagship product is called #LetsDoGood – a mobile app and webapp which enable neighbourhoods to connect through sharing things like food, clothing, household items and capital for small businesses. We are working to strengthen a sense of community and build a Zambia that is equal – where people share what they have instead of throwing things away.
