Whenever large numbers of people are forced to move whether fleeing a natural disaster or a political crisis children get lost and families are separated Organiza-tions such as unicef the International Red Cross and Save The Children work hard to reunite these families through a process called Family Tracing and Reunifica-tion or FTR

RapidFTR is an open source mobile application and data storage system designed to streamline and speed up FTR efforts both in the immediate aftermath of a crisis and during ongoing recovery efforts by making it easy for registered case-workers to collect edit update search and share child information RapidFTR has been built by a volunteer community led by unicef
