Alright, so although our development capacities can’t help every individual in need, our team has decided to begin highlighting the issues surrounding marginalized communities around the world. We want you all to have a platform to engage in meaningful dialogue, share the under-shared, and make a difference in communities that need our help.

To begin, following the February 1st general elections in Myanmar, their military have taken control of the nation following unsavory results. In return, the people have been protesting in the streets, where they are frequently met with state-sanctioned live ammunition.

But there’s a bigger question to be asked. As the military retains control of their access to internet and cell service, numerous inhumane engagements are going unnoticed. This is the need to know.

What can be taken away from our conversation at with Andrew Harper and Zitouni Ould-Dada?

1. There are roughly 19 million people displaced due to climate-related natural disasters.

2. Technology could not only help these displaced individuals, but prevent displacement in the first place.

3. We must prioritize building trust with these individuals. Once again, it pays off to build with, not just for your users!

Is IsolatedNotAlone safe to use?

In short, Yes! IsolatatedNotAlone.com was built by Astra Labs under strict ethical guidelines to protect our users from harmful information, resources and mediums of care.

Additionally, the site was launched in partnership with over two dozen of the world's leading mental health and telehealth providers. These include Crisis Text Line, Shine Text, Ten Percent Happier, BetterHelp, Trill, Breethe and Lantern... just to name a few.

So, Yes - www.IsolatedNotAlone.com is completely safe to use, it’s resources have been professionally vetted, and it’s been publicly trusted by leading doctors and innovators. Just read what some of them have had to say!

Happy Monday everyone!! So here’s the deal - while developing some really cool tech for communities in need around the world... we’ve kinda dropped the ball on our social media world! But not to worry, we’re back and stronger than ever 😁 And what better way to get started than by introducing some of the faces behind Astra that keep us running everyday!

So... everyone, meet Fouzan Alam - Fouz, meet everyone! Fouzan has been with the Astra team for almost a year now and acts as our Head of Strategy. With this he oversees long-term planning with Amanda and makes sure we’re always on track to hit our OKR’s!

On a side note - we’d also love to hear your content ideas for the future, so shoot us a DM and we’d love to chat!
