Our social enterprise benefits communities on many levels.
By developing, administering and analyzing surveys that provide detailed and insightful information about the uncounted and overlooked people living at the base of the pyramid, Mobile Metrix bridges the gap between these communities and the organizations trying to reach them, efficiently linking demand with supply. Furthermore, by employing and training local youth to act as MobileAgents™ who carry out the surveys, Mobile Metrix provides income-generating opportunities in the communities where we work.
Our model also provides an immediate ’give back’ to community residents—while on the doorstep, Mobile Agents™ distribute information and products that educate residents and improve their well-being.
Mobile Metrix also provides additional benefits for MobileAgents™, including training in professionalism, survey techniques and computer skills. Our MobileAgents™ are proud, ambitious youth whom we select through a rigorous recruitment and comprehensive training process. Our MobileAgents™ serve their communities while gaining valuable professional and technical skills for future employment.
