Together, we can do anything

We are developing an application for rural water utilities that will allow residents to know when water is off and for field technicians to communicate system issues to residents. This app will need to be for both Android as well as iPhone. The app will also allow field technicians to record preventative maintenance and repairs to the system and to capture meter readings. Residents will be able to access data on water usage, water quality, and billing data.

UX researchers and designers have the design ready, a database is in development, and a web app to support system office staff is also in development.

We are building this application for one water utility but hope to license it for other utilities and in so doing, generate funds for the KeelWorks program for getting the chronically unemployed and under compensated either to work or to more sustaining employment.

About KeelWorks Foundation

Location:

2398 WEST BEACH RD, OAK HARBOR, WA 98277, US

Mission Statement

To support a better world with better citizens by fostering learning competence, emotional intelligence, and networked intelligence. KeelWorks especially wishes to bring greater participation to the economically disadvantaged across the globe. We are building a system to support upward mobility.

Description

KeelWorks is a 501c3 foundation. Since 2008 hundreds of graduate students and unemployed workers, reached gainful employment while helping KeelWorks build structure for change. We want to end poverty across the world, changing one life at a time. The KeelWings program for recent students and the KeelMate program for transitioning workers apply their learning while gaining experience supporting the KeelMaster program development. This experience reflected in a competent resume - with our guidance - qualifies them as a credible job applicant. The KeelMaster program is designed to support employment for the more challenged unemployed. This program begins with barrier identification and mitigation, assigns participants facilitated teams where they learn core competencies, ending with goal determination. They access training, and while doing so, join paid internships. Mutual support, core competencies, application, and clear and objective progress metrics support measured results. This structure for change will be replicated over and over across the globe. While other programs give the needy fish, we teach teach them to fish.
