Linkaid.org [1], a project registered for the eighth edition of the Global Junior Challenge [2], is a web platform and virtual space that simplifies access to information on humanitarian projects. It is a search engine with filters and tags that allows users to learn about non-profit organisations and gather information on social projects. It acts as a data aggregator for citizens, associations, non-profit agencies, foundations and journalists who wish to learn more about activities and objectives.

Indeed, it’s a novelty on account of its objective: to create a network of organisations working on social issues and provide users with information.

Fiammetta Castagnini interviewed Project Coordinator Saverio Ojetti.

In the first part of the interview, the man behind Linkaid.org explains why projects are not personal.

In the second part, Saverio Ojetti describes some of the platform functions and why he chose to showcase this project at the Global Junior Challenge.
