We establish the organization in 2013 after we figure out that the society in need for big campaign against the weapon especially among youth, we proposed our ideas to the ministry of youth and sports campaign with 5 videos to highlight the issues.
We had good experiences with Mapping and collecting data using Ushahidi platform, design, making videos and building websites, this helped us to start also with the good network that we have helped us to start.
We got our first project from Chamonix to observe the election of constitution committee and mad our first map for problems at Libyan schools, after one month we started another project with MEPI to conduct advocacy campaign for volunteerism law, we brought people from different backgrounds, lawyers, and parliament members to discuss the project with them, we were delayed on the third project because of the war in tripoli in 2014.
During the war, we documented some of Tripoli damages by Ushahidi map called Tripoli War, we just want to keep these photos online as an evidence of the aftermath of the war to be witnessed by future generations.
2015 was full of energy and creative ideas, since no one work on conflict resolution we decide to set new goals to work on this field and to have better understanding of the conflicts in Libya, we started working with the UNDP on this end and also to develop new website to collect all the NGOs information and activity in Libya, we start worked with the ministry of education to locate all the public schools in Libya in one map called smsm.ly.
After the surveys that we made for the student to know what they are concern about we found that many young women rising women harassment issue so we designed new advocacy project to try to solve these phenomena, many people supported us in this project, lawyers, CSOs, activist.
Right now we are working on new project to implement the result of the first phase at the university, also in this year we made good partnership with the municipalities, we start with MYM.ly map to show what people want from their municipality and after we finish this project we developed 6 mobile apps for 6 municipalities to allow people to report about any problems anywhere.
