We’ve described here about how MiniActive is helping the Palestinian populations improve their surroundings in Jerusalem. Since its founding in 2012 MiniActive has registered tens of thousands of complaints, bringing about a revolutionary change in the way the municipality provides services to the Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem.
Downloading the 106 app
The Jerusalem Municipality recently launched a new mobile app that enables residents to register complaints with the 106 hotline, supplementing the work of the telephone-based hotline. However, while it is possible to write requests and complaints in Arabic, the whole app platform – downloading, signing up, entering some information for tracking – is in Hebrew.
Even types of complaints are listed only in Hebrew
Enter MiniActive. They’ve created a video on how to use the new 106 mobile app. The video shows how to download the app, how to sign up and insert all the necessary information, how to use its system that also plots the complaints on a map, and how to file a complaint using the app. You can view the entire video here.
Details can be described in Arabic
Using this app will make MiniActive’s work – and its ripple effect of inspiring the rest of the Palestinian community in East Jerusalem – even more accessible. Can’s wait to see how it’ll upgrade their work!
Many thanks to the Leichtag Foundation‘s Jerusalem Model for their support of this summertime initiative for youth. And many thanks to the Jerusalem Foundation and to Natan for their ongoing support of MiniActive!
