Tearfund IMPACT

Mobile Data Collection for Android Phones and Tablets.

This application has been specifically built for field workers on the Tearfund IMPACT project.

Tearfund is an International charity working in more than fifty countries around the world, responding to disasters, campaigning for justice, helping churches do whatever it takes to get close and stay close to the people who need them. For more information visit www.tearfund.org

Tearfund has a big vision which we've been bringing into being since 1968. We know there's God-given-potential in poor communities. We work with local churches to unlock this potential. With your help, we've seen millions escape extreme poverty - permanently.

Tearfund is aiming high. We have a vision to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 local churches.

On behalf of Tearfund, Nimbus Consulting has worked closely with PoiMapper, to develop an application with a set of features unique to the challenges of International Development and Humanitarian Relief. In addition to the standard data collection and GEO mapping services of PoiMapper, this special edition also includes an information repository which acts as a reference manual and news feed for remote field workers. All functionality works both on and offline to meet the unique challenges of working in remote, ‘sometimes connected’ environments.

For health workers we have also built a feature whereby they can set SMS reminders for clients to take medication or make clinic appointments.
