What the fuck...

Decided to look further into some of the partners on the ProjectEveryone site and one of them stood out to me...2030Vision

First thing I decided to look at on their site was their projects and this one shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us. Simprints - https://www.2030vision.com/projects/simprints

Simprints is a nonprofit tech startup from the University of Cambridge. Backed by the Gates Foundation, USAID, DFID, Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation, the Global Innovation Fund, Autodesk Foundation and Arm, they build biometrics for patient identification in developing countries.

This one did come as a surprise, though. U-report - https://www.2030vision.com/projects/u-report
