Full-time
Description: 

The One Family Foundation is a small family foundation with big ambitions and is run by one of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs. Our open-door policy and collaborative working methods have quickly led to high network individuals, organizations and social entrepreneurs joining forces with us to create a network enhancing and growing impact across all regions of the globe. 

One Family together with many partners aim at solving social issues in order to trigger change in the world for the better. We strongly believe that collaboration is the key to bringing about a more equitable world for all citizens and especially the most vulnerable. 

Would you like to get onboard a global movement of changemakers? 

When completed, Aselo will consist of an online tech platform capable of bringing the benefits of modern information technology to the child helpline movement and enabling them to better serve children and youth in crisis in new and powerful ways. It will build an open tech platform for the global child helpline movement to unify their communications with children in need, collect accurate information about these interactions, and allow the movement to triple the number of children it helps each year.

By developing an integrated contact response system incorporating voice calls, chat, messaging and social media and collecting better data, helplines will be able to greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of their services and reduce costs. The platform will facilitate data collection and provide new insights and new ideas derived from machine learning to better assist children and youth in crisis as well as influence policy and funding.We are now looking to expand the platform to other helplines focusing on issues such as physical abuse, mental health, gender, youth, sexuality, LGTBQ+, etc. who can benefit and streamline their services to reach more people reaching out for help to these phone lines.
