The Ushahidi Engine is being used to run non-disaster related site called Peace Heroes, which hopes to highlight ordinary Kenyans who did extraordinary things to promote peace during and after the post-election crisis earlier this year. Emer Beamer and her team at Butterfly Works put together this project in conjunction with Nairobits and Media Focus on Africa. Ushahidi thanks Emer for giving this Alpha version a test run.

Ushahidi is delighted to see the platform being used for this project, and would encourage Kenyans to support the project, by nominating peace heroes on the website. If you encounter any problems with the submission link, kindly fill out a bug report for us on http://bugs.ushahidi.com/
