Great job!!! I am using this as an example for my children.

One suggestion on the revenue front… look at leveraging your technology for other purposes, e.g. health. I can see a need for NGO’s to have access to a real-time map of :

b. Food aid. How many malnourished? How many fed? Where are the shortages?
c. Transportation. Where are the trucks? How many trucks are in transit?

[...] Ushahidi, an impressive display of African ingenuity, is a collaborative venture started by four Africans – three bloggers and one web developer. “For us to be featured in Forbes magazine is a big deal for many reasons – it speaks to our entrepreneurial approach to social problems, it speaks to the incredible talent we have in Africa that often doesn’t receive the recognition it deserves in the international media, and it says to me that we are on to something.” – Ory, Ushahidi cofounders [...]
