Engage Spark - http://www.engagespark.com/ http://www.engagespark.com/ Started by a serial entrepreneur from Boston, right now they're building tools to help NGOs reach people in abject poverty, and they have some really big ideas for the future. They're based in the Philippines and actually are currently looking for developers to come over on 6-12 month fellowships to experience life there and contribute to the core product. If anyone is interested, I can link you to the relevant posting. (not affiliated, just think what they're doing is awesome)

Thank you for mentioning engageSPARK! Here's a quick summary of what we're building: Our first product empowers organizations to dramatically extend the reach and impact of their pro-poor programs. A not-for-profit business, we're building the easiest to use self-service cloud-based solution to easily and quickly launch comprehensive messaging, surveying, curriculums, and decision tree programs focused on developing countries via SMS, USSD and Voice Calls (roughly half of world’s poor are illiterate) in 200+ countries. engageSPARK will also be the first platform custom built for software developers in developing countries – they will utilize APIs to easily and quickly integrate into multiple telecoms across multiple countries for basic building blocks such as SMS, Voice, USSD, and Mobile Money. To understand the problems we’re solving, please read http://engagespark.com/blog/is-sms-really-solution-change-voice-calls-are-for-most-poor-people/ http://engagespark.com/blog/is-sms-really-solution-change-vo... .
