Our story
Hikaya, which means story in Arabic works with nonprofits to introduce a set of integrated tools that re-engineer how data are used within these organizations.
By building open source solutions on common data standards, we help leading nonprofits worldwide improve their delivery of goods and services to those most in need while making reporting to funders more transparent.
Data Ecosystem
We believe the way to transform into a digital organization is through utilizing a set of integrated tools that promote sharing and consistency across the organization.
Data Standardization
By investing in upfront system design, we build tools and processes that help standardize data and keep it up-to-date. This helps us reap the benefits of our systems by making it easier to roll up data and answer common questions like “Where do we work”, “Who do we work with?”, and “What did we achieve?”
Data Collection
Digitizing the way we collect and process data has never been easier with access to affordable, rugged technology to operate in low connectivity settings. We can eliminate manual entry and data cleaning steps in record time while improving the flow of data through real-time monitoring.
Data Storage
By integrating data in a centralized and consistent manner, we can reduce duplication and encourage organizations to access more of their data for in depth analysis.
Data Visualization
Once data starts to work its way through our tools, it is coupled with automated and self-service reports and dashboards that give greater insight into all levels of the organization. By utilizing modern business intelligence and easy-to-use visualization tools, organizations can access relevant and timely information for informed decision making.
Commitment to Open Source
Our team is committed to developing solutions using an iterative, human-centered design approach and support the use of open source software across the nonprofit community.
Products
Activity
Manage your activities and indicators with ease
Activity is a tool that makes it easier for nonprofits to manage their project
activities and indicator results. Activity is based on an open source project started at
Mercy Corps in 2014.
Activity is hosted and maintained by Hikaya and can be used any nonprofit.
Dots
Connect and visualize your data from anywhere
Built using open source tools like
Apache Airflow and
Metabase, we’re architecting
a common data pipeline for nonprofits to manage their
unstructured datasets.
Dots helps import datasets from third-party
data collection tools while hosting a series of pre-built
connectors that let organizations integrate their ERP systems.
The application provides a workspace to perform cleaning and
join operations alongside scheduling imports and exports between
systems.
Circles
Standard form designer that automates KPI tracking
We are building a progressive web application that
helps design, offline data collection forms that are
standardized and are immediately linked to key performance indicators so that
nonprofits can easily automate their reporting.
This application is based on a micro-service architecture for high performance,
scalability, and availability using
Angular 8
and
Python
/
Django.
