Following Satya’s quote “Empowering Every Person in the Planet”, in 2016 Microsoft Inspire conference, have certainly left my mind with unstoppable beats. I certainly understood what Satya meant, but I still thought about doing something like this, with my own upgraded version of Data Awareness Programme (which I started in 2014). But at that time, all I had was Power View, Power Map, Power Pivot as Excel add-ons and tried my best, to do the awareness programmes in remote villages, by mingling with the villagers and collecting their own data and showing some visuals back to them. I did this to improve their life style, find more time for personal and have better earnings. Though the main target was students, I hoped this message would spread to their friends, family and others in the remote places.
Following the release of full version of Power BI, I now have a fully working site, with living “Awareness Enabled Reports”, from sleeping open data sources (taken from various Gov/Non-Gov sites).
I managed to get this far, with a simple equation of A + B + C + D = E (EmpoweringEveryPerson.com (EEP)). Let me explain this in detail.
Following this, I managed to extract data from various open data sources and identified the most global challenges, that we are encountering and/or going to be a major threat in near future.
With our all time favourite reporting tool, “Microsoft Power BI“, published some “Awareness Enabled Reports” to www.EmpoweringEveryPerson.com site and categorized them with regional, national and global challenges, for easy manoeuvring within the EEP site.
This EEP site currently has 3 simple goals.
Below screenshot shows categorization of reports by UK.

As per above equation, ‘D’ is the support that we need from you, to promote in any of the following ways.
1. DEVELOPERS
Develop “Awareness Enabled Reports” for all listed Global Challenge topics and submit your data story to EEP site and once published, tweet / share / post in social media and spread the awareness.
2. COMMUNITY LEADERS
A request to all Community group leaders, to spend at least a minute by starting or ending your user / local / online group sessions by introducing / re-introducing, this website and showcasing the opportunity to all attendees, to build and submit their own data story with “Awareness Enabled Reports“.
