What's happening in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is facing its worst economic crisis in more than 100 years. Soaring inflation and a rapidly-depreciating local currency mean that the country can no longer afford basic goods. A lack of foreign money has led to power cuts that last 10 or more hours every day. Food shortages are causing hours-long lines at grocery stores as political unrest is mounting.

Our Goal

Sri Lankan citizens need access to important data that impacts their lives. Many of these data are publicly available but difficult to access. We want to ensure that those living in Sri Lanka have access to accurate and essential data, starting with real time power outage upates.
