Introducing Scott Moody...


Scott Moody is a serial entrepreneur and has founded several media and technology-related companies over the past two decades. His current passion revolves around the intersection of digital media, emerging technologies, and nonprofit fundraising. He is participating in the Muungamo Kibao project as a student with a goal of learning from the artists, the staff, and the community of people who benefit from Pepo La Tumaini Jangwani. As an experienced photographer and videographer, he will "digitize" the collaborative arts project and team with Sarafina and Khadija to explore ways technology can be utilized to increase global awareness and support for their efforts going forward.

"Although technologies, such as the Internet, have increased awareness of and support for nonprofits -- especially in the arena of emergency response giving, we are just scratching the surface when it comes to ways an always-connected world can dramatically expand the giving landscape. The four primary hurdles to increasing nonprofit support throughout the world are discovery, choice, trust, and empathy. By exploring ways technology and media can enable one-to-one relationships between individuals and non-profits, we can strive to create a world where giving is commonplace and cross-cultural empathy no longer requires comparing the cost of saving a life to the cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks."
