In episode #2 of the Social Hero, I speak with Ita, co-founder of TuneMap, on her journey to empower visually-impaired people in the cities of Indonesia through a mobile app.

TuneMap is a crowd-powered map to navigate visually-impaired people in the cities of Indonesia. Ita and her 2 other co-founders created a navigation app for visually-impaired people which empowers disabled communities to live independently, promoting equal opportunities for people with different abilities.

Since 2016, TuneMap has impacted more than 50 visually-impaired people through the app, creating more than 5000 reports to the governmental authorities to rebuild the pavements for the people.

The meaningful work of this organisation has been featured widely in the regions, including e27, Tech In Asia, and ASEAN Foundation. The organisation has received grants and support from UNDP, ASEAN Foundation, SAP, and MDEC.
