Trybe

Trybe - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

Orlin reported experiencing loneliness and wants for connection with those in her local community where she can share her skills. This is a common issue described in the literature and by others with disabilities.

Who it helps

Orlin is a mother of a 2-year-old Moroccan-Israeli industrial designer with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

How it works

This solution will match individuals based on location and communication preferences to encourage in-person meetings with a strength-based approach.

Our platform facilitates connections between individuals based on interests, skills and location to foster friendships. In addition to this, we encourage community organisations to join and promote in-person group events for those with similar interests.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +
