Our Approach

Economic empowerment is essential to personal and community well-being. Atma is focused on contributing to economic empowerment through a number of pathways. AtmaGo, Atma’s peer-driven communications network, offers citizens access to local information about jobs and a way to find talent in the community. Atma has used its tech-for-good expertise to build online information networks where farmers-help-farmers by sharing lessons learned and business solutions. Atma has also created an online information service for citizens to share information about affordable services.

Testimonies from our clients and users

I found employees for my small business by posting on AtmaGo. I tried FB, WA, and IG, but no one responded. Within a short time after posting on AtmaGo I found help.

Herman GunawanBusiness Owner

I started to write articles in AtmaGo to write about my neighborhood - one of them was about our urban catfish farming program and I shared it to several whatsapp groups. The post was eventually read by the Mayor who was interested to my program and is now starting to replicate it throughout the City.

Residents in Puerto Rico have come together to create the community business, Martín Peña Recicla. They not only collect recyclable materials, but they also educate organizations and schools on how to manage their waste. This organization creates jobs, which contributes to the economic development of the community.

AtmaGo is used to reduce food insecurity by documenting and amplifying the farming movement’s work, and by recruiting families to share critical farming practices. This has secured four agricultural specialists to support community members through virtual trainings covering agricultural practices for urban gardening and urban poultry production.
