International Center for Humanitarian Affairs
We invest in research that saves lives and builds stronger communities through innovation and data-driven solutions. By addressing humanitarian challenges, we inform policy and advocacy initiatives that create lasting impact. Our work empowers communities to be more resilient and better prepared for future crises. Using drone technology, we deliver medical supplies, assess disaster-affected areas, and provide real-time data to support efficient humanitarian response.
