DataKindⓇ is a global nonprofit that harnesses the power of data science and AI in the service of humanity.
About us
At DataKindⓇ, we believe in the transformative power of data science and AI to create a more promising future. Since our founding in 2012, we’ve been at the forefront of designing scalable, data-driven tools that address some of the world’s toughest challenges—ranging from frontline health, humanitarian action, climate and environment, economic opportunity, education, and more. As both a product innovator and a movement catalyst, we set new standards in the social sector, empowering organizations to harness the full potential of data science and AI while putting communities first. Our journey began with a bold idea that data science could change the world. In 2010, our founder shared this vision in a blog post. The idea resonated deeply. Within a week, over 300 people joined what would become the Data for Good movement, proving the potential of this vision. Two years later, DataKind was born, turning that spark into a sustained global effort. Today, DataKind continues to innovate, creating tools and solutions that are designed not just for individual organizations, but to address sector-wide challenges. Our work scales across communities, improving the ability of social impact organizations to tackle pressing issues. Support for our work has only grown, with a vibrant global community, dozens of corporations and foundations, and a talented staff on four continents. We remain a catalyst for the broader Data for Good movement, advancing the use of data science and AI to create sustainable, scalable impact for a better world.

The findings point to what’s possible when AI meets real-world needs, designed with and for the people it’s meant to serve.

🩺 What if frontline health workers could spot data issues BEFORE they impact patient care? The Data Observation Toolkit (DOT) is turning that “what if” into reality. Co-developed by DataKind and Medic with support from Wellcome Trust and the Johnson & Johnson Foundation, DOT is an open-source, platform-agnostic tool that automates data quality checks—helping governments, NGOs, and frontline organizations increase trust in the data that drives healthcare decisions. From: 📍 Maternal health in Uganda 📍 Specimen tracking in Lesotho 📍 Global vaccine delivery with Gavi DOT is already proving what’s possible when automation meets local ownership. With over 5 million rows of data validated, it’s helping frontline workers identify issues before they become barriers to care. 🔍 Explore the case studies + lessons learned: 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3sf4inu Melissa DiLoreto Nick Martin #GlobalHealth #DigitalPublicGoods #DataQuality #DigitalHealth
