Our Team

At IT for Change, individuals from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, professional expertise and skill sets work with a shared commitment towards progressive social change. Working across a multitude of settings, whether in schools, government agencies, multilateral and international agencies or the community, our team brings innovative ideas to our field projects, coalition building, consulting, research and advocacy projects.

From learning technical skills like efficiently using FOSS alternatives for work (Libre Office, Scribus, KdenLive, GIMP, Drupal, Okular, Inkscape) to getting a basic grasp on what it means to be a part of the digital economy, working at IT for Change has taught me more than I could have fathomed. I learnt how to make WordPress microsites from scratch and at the same time began to recognize the imperative need to have an open, free, just and equitable internet. Being a part of the eVAW project was a defining process in my decision to delve deeper into the realm of data and society. The journey the raw data we collected took to unpack how women navigate cyberviolence was an insightful experience to recognize the power of data, and my own passion.

I did my internship at IT for change as a UX Designer. The two months I spent here were really a good learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed working on designing the Bot Populi website from scratch and seeing it go live.
