About us

We #disruptpoverty through technology

Alongside good governance, technology is considered one of the greatest enablers for productivity and improved quality of life and iAID is the global expert in applying innovation and technology to improve the lives of poor and marginalized communities.

We are a non-religious, non-political, non-governmental international humanitarian aid organization (INGO) fighting global poverty and economic inequality through the effective application of technology to solve complex humanitarian challenges and to empower communities to be part of their own growth and development.

iAID is unique because for the first time a specialist group of passionate veteran humanitarian aid experts with over 30 years’ experience in emergency response and sustainable development has come together with the tech and innovation community.

We collaborate with entrepreneurs, starts-ups and manufacturers, as well as the business community, impact investment community, local governments, donors and academics with a common objective to create, adapt and/or fund technological solutions and programs developed specifically to solve humanitarian challenges, not first world problems.

To provide the most productive and impactful support to communities in need, iAID not only aims to change the way technology is designed and implemented, but also to shift the paradigm of charitable giving.

The iAID model focuses on philanthropic collaboration, where innovative humanitarian solutions can be delivered through an ecosystem that explores partnerships, shared knowledge and resources, as well as financial contributions.
