About the HTC

Even in this day and age, far too many people in underdeveloped countries live in darkness, without reliable electricity... far too many doctors are forced to treat patients without accurate information... and far too many people die from illnesses easily treatable in the world's developed nations.

Think there's nothing you can do about it? Think again.

The Humanitarian Technology Challenge (HTC) was created by people like you, for people like you: technologists, humanitarians, nonprofit organizations, students, government employees - and citizens of the world - who are coming together to identify, and work to solve, some of the world's most pressing challenges. With a unique, open-source collaborative concept, HTC enables you to make a difference - without making a major commitment of your time or resources.
