How ICT lifts up the victims of war
There is a largely unsung hero in countries devastated by violence – think Afghanistan, Liberia, Rwanda after the genocide, and South Sudan. This hero connects aid workers with resources, helps people start businesses, builds communities, reveals human suffering, and helps former enemies reconcile. This hero commits in areas that most businesses consider too dangerous and expands rapidly. Who is this hero? How can you shake its hand? Look no further than your laptop or your smartphone. This hero is information and communications technology (ICT): The most trusted industry in the world.
