About InsightOut
InsightOut is a free tool for nonprofits to identify geographic beneficiaries using DHS survey data and generate efficient household surveys for field-based beneficiary targeting. No data background required.
We believe every organization — regardless of size or technical capacity — should be able to turn open data into real-world impact. InsightOut puts DHS survey data directly in the hands of program teams, so you can focus on reaching the people who need you most.
