SXSW Interactive Honors 10 People Who Use Technology for Social Good

February 24, 2014

Following are the winners of the 2014 Dewey Winburne Community Service Award, given by SXSW Interactive, which honors people who use technology to further social good:

  • Tony Carr, of Cape Town, founder of e/merge Africa, which provides online classes and development workshops to help researchers and others at African colleges and universities employ educational technology in their work.
  • Stephanie Downs, of St. Louis, who helped create the nonprofit Fixit to devise ways of reducing pet overpopulation, and also a founder of an online marketplace called Voolla, which allows people to offer their professional, technical, or other skills to people who need them, with buyers paying for the services but sending the money to charity.
  • Marie Duffy, of Dublin, editor of SpunOut.ie, a charity that encourages young adults to promote social change.
  • Gwendolyn Floyd, of Brooklyn, N.Y., a co-founder of Soko, an online marketplace that enables artisans in Africa to post and sell their products online, even if they lack access to a computer or bank account.
  • Raymar Hampshire, of Washington, co-founder and chief executive of SponsorChange, a social enterprise that gives college students and graduates the opportunity to pay their student-loan debts by working at nonprofits.
  • Mark Horvath, of Los Angeles, founder of Invisible People, a charity that uses social media and video to call attention to homelessness.
  • Noeline Kirabo, of Kampala, Uganda, executive director of Kyusa, which provides alternative education for school dropouts up to age 25 through the use of free online resources.
  • George Luc, of Austin, Tex., a co-founder and chief executive of GivePulse, a site that matches people to causes they want to support and helps nonprofits manage volunteers, donors, and other aspects of their operations.
  • Alejandro Maza, of Mexico City, founder and director of OPI: Open Intelligence, a social enterprise that helps people share information about the delivery of public services.
  • Clara Tsao, of Los Angeles, founder and chief executive of Travel Angel, an online site that allows people to donate frequent-flier miles to help social entrepreneurs travel abroad to start or expand their ventures.
