Map This!

Challenges Entered: 
HealthyCity.org currently offers users access to over 120 demographic and community characteric variables, from 9 different data sources. Our data and sources are described in detail at: http://www.healthycity.org/c/help/sc/indicator. For the proposed national service, some of the California-specific data sources may not be available nationally (such as data from the California Health Interview Survey or from the WIC program), but their functions may be replaced by other data sets. There are a number of health and economic data that state and federal offices use that are only available at the county level (so they cannot be displayed on our current site); offering a national view will make comparisons and disparities between counties and states accessible to users. Users will be able to:- Upload their own data sets- Overlay data points on top of demographic and other data- Map and analyze data within a radius around an address, or within a ZIP code, city, legislative districts or other jurisdictions- View core demographic and other data for the selected geography in tables and charts- View assets, such as schools, parks, fire and police stations, on an interactive map, with types of service (identified by icons)- Identify information about assets or service providers by scrolling over their icons- Cut and analyze data by over 60 demographic, health and other indicators

Text a Farmer, Support a Farmer, Alert a Farmer with CellAlert.net

Challenges Entered: 
We would like to offer a site that offers our text alert services in Rwanda and/or Uganda where the Grameen Foundation has made inroads with Village Phone and offer them a text-based marketplace alert system. We want to send marketplace and micro-loan opportunity-alerts to cell phone users across Bangladesh, Uganda and Rwanda.We want to couple our opportunity alert service with Fair Tracing; creating a Fair Trade Alert mashup to ensure international business accountability.Done correctly, CellAlert.net could notify thousands of people oversees about requests for proposals and goods needed. For instance, oil-based agricultural crops essential to biodiesel production appear to be a potential world-changer for Africa, which is poised to become the #1 producer of biodiesel worldwide.CellAlert.net could create connections for vegetable oil buys directly between socially responsible companies and farmers in developing countries for their fuel needs. For instance, the Safeway Corporation recently switched their entire trucking fleet to biodiesel. We want to connect the developing world farmer to the Safeway type corporations ready to buy from developing markets for a fair price.Once the project is complete, we have plans to expand CellAlert.net as follows: EMERGENCY ALERTS, MEDICAL SUPPLY ALERTS, FREE ITEM ALERTS, LOAN ALERTS, LOCAL INNOVATION ALERTS, ENTREPRENEUR NETWORK ALERTS, REGIONAL NEWS ALERTS VOLUNTEER ALERTS
