Challenge	Love in Action is a charity organization based in Uganda that provides support, education, and care to orphans and local families in need. The organization's social workers regularly visit the children to monitor their progress in education or recovery from physical or psychological abuse. These visits often occur in areas with limited or no internet access. Seven staff members use Salesforce to maintain records of sponsors and clients. Through Salesforce Community Cloud, sponsors can see all documentation and up-to-date data of the children they support. However, the lack of internet access in some areas posed a challenge to updating and accessing this data in real-time. Read More

Solution	Love in Action discovered Resco, a mobile application, at a Salesforce conference. The application allows the organization's social work team to enter, view, and edit Salesforce data even in areas with no or limited internet access.

Impact #1	The Resco mobile application has saved Love in Action time and resources. The social work team can now spend less time at the office and more time with the children in need. They can also share up-to-date information with sponsors accordingly via Resco and easily look back on previous records while in the field.
