A Hermitage based technology development company is teaming up with a nonprofit that helps domestic violence programs to provide free smartphones and data service to survivors. 

OhanaLink Technologies announced their partnership with Indiana based nonprofit, More Than a Phone to help create secure access to mobile technology specifically designed for domestic violence agencies and victims seeking services. 

More Than a Phone was started in 2017 when they first collaborated with domestic violence agencies to create the program which then launched nationally in 2018. 

Since that time, More Than a Phone has increased their community impact by providing smartphones to survivors of domestic violence through partnerships with more than 90 shelters in 24 states across the U.S. 

More Than a Phone was established under the Round Room umbrella of companies. Round Room offers their employees the opportunity to submit grants through Round Room Gives, a private nonprofit.

Through this collaboration, Round Room Gives has provided grant funding to two domestic violence agencies in Indiana enabling them to integrate new workflows into their operations using innovative mobile technology, OhanaLink Purple.

OhanaLink Purple is a first to market safe, secure cloud-based engagement system that enables better coordination of services and offers secure communication
between advocates of domestic violence agencies and the clients they serve in their communities.

OhanaLink Technologies is a woman-owned technology development company that has developed an engagement and interaction platform designed to offer secure communication by providing safe, easy-to-use mobile solutions that directly connect them to their network.

More Than a Phone helps survivors of domestic violence deserve a reliable and safe smartphone. Through their program, they connect survivors to the world around them so they can build a strong foundation to support themselves and their families.
