Thanks for participating in the SANCB Challenge!

One month ago, we told you about Inclusive Ideas and the initiation of the SANCB Challenge.

We are really happy to tell you that Lindie’s initiative to look for a global solution through the Inclusive Planet community received a phenomenal response.

When we set off attempting to hunt for feedback we did not anticipate the response we got!
3000 members from 76 countries were made aware of this issue.
40 distinct solutions were presented on how the current template can be made accurate, cost effective and much more accessible.
The Global Voice, the radio station that helps the world's blind and sighted communities see eye to eye, reached out to us and ran a public service announcement for us.

A result like this would normally take weeks, even months. But with the help of the community we have together been able to unlock the potential of collaborative solution creation!

Lindie Van Zyl, we would like to thank you for helping us discover the power of collaborative solutions.

One person’s vision and resolve transformed a local solution to Global Solutions!

One would think - how can an organization in Cape Town, South Africa reach out to people across the world for feedback and suggestions, keeping in mind limitations of time? This is where Lindie decided to use the global community on Inclusive Planet.

Collaboration opens up new possibilities. Possibilities that we cannot not imagine… we can help create Braille voting templates in South Africa, help sighted people understand the challenges faced by a visually impaired person, change government policy or create a movement to make all websites accessible!

Here is what Lindie had to say "This is what we had in mind when we contacted Inclusive Planet, but we are delighted about the amount of assistance we received – it transcended our wildest expectations. We can not thank Inclusive Planet enough for the time and money they saved us by putting us in contact with knowledgeable people from around the globe. We whish you all the success and know that Inclusive planet will become an essential part of most blind people’s world. Thank you for all the trouble and for always being available to assist us and for developing a tool that generated so much interest in our project."

Coming soon, the next inclusive idea which involves three young social entrepreneurs who are opening a computer training institute for the blind in Madagascar! So keep watching this space.
