The Center for Humanitarian Technology was founded by WP&C team members 

The Center for Humanitarian Technology (CFHT) is a non-profit, global humanitarian agency that harnesses the power of volunteer engineering, technology, and operations experts to develop, deploy, and operate information and communication technology to support scalable humanitarian emergency relief efforts. CFHT's mission is to improve the collaboration, efficiency, and effectiveness of our humanitarian NGO partners. 

You can follow CFHT on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and  Facebook.

CFHT's First Mission: Ukraine ESC

WP&C team members founded CFHT in March 2022 in response to a Ukrainian relief agency seeking a better way to manage the deluge of internally displaced people requesting support. Volunteers from companies including WP&C, Swivl, and Airbus rapidly came together to launch CFHT's first mission, the Ukraine Evacuation Support Center (Ukraine ESC). This project includes a custom chat bot and ticketing platform to streamline the intake process for internally displaced people in Ukraine requesting humanitarian aid from the nonprofit Step With Hope.
