Gaining Momentum

Legitimate non-profit in Sri Lanka with verified impact (> $1M USD raised for conservation). High real-world utility but the submission is for a non-technical organization, not a technology project. The submission quality is very poor, containing hyperbolic and inaccurate claims ('most people have used my product').
