Our Initiatives

Three pillars of building AI for social good

Coming Soon

Community

Biweekly sessions connecting builders to NGOs and social impact orgs. Part workshop, part co-working, part open hangout. We form teams, match real needs to builders, and ship projects that matter.

Advocacy

Educational content making AI accessible to everyone. Talks, short-form videos, blogs, and infographics advocating for responsible AI, AI safety, and open-source AI for social good. Content in English and Bahasa Malaysia.

Open Source Projects

A growing collection of open-source projects that use AI for social good. Each project ships reusable components — datasets, APIs, templates — so the next builder inherits, not rebuilds.

Why This Exists

The Problem

Open-source social impact projects already exist: pasarmalam.app, sedekah.je, wikiimpact. Each built by one person, grown by contributors. They prove the model works, but they stay isolated. No shared infrastructure, no way to build on each other's work.

Meanwhile, social impact orgs rarely show up in AI builder communities. The people who need AI most aren't in the room where it's being built.

The Vision

An open platform connecting builders to social impact orgs. Each shipped project feeds reusable components back into a shared library: datasets, APIs, templates. sedekah.je already solved donation directories. pasarmalam.app already solved night market mapping. The next builder should inherit that, not rebuild it.

One builder helped Pocket of Pink, a youth education nonprofit, ship their website in a single day using AI. That's the ratio now. This infrastructure makes it repeatable.

Join the Movement

We're looking for builders, designers, writers, and anyone who wants to use their skills for social good. Join the committee, contribute to projects, or help with advocacy.

Builder

Contribute code to open-source projects. Ship tools that help real orgs.

Advocate

Create content, translate materials, speak at events, spread the word.

Organizer

Help run meetups, connect with NGOs, coordinate build cycles.
