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.
"We founded the Center for Humanitarian Technology to provide technology and operations solutions to help make humanitarian organizations already on the ground doing incredibly important work even more efficient and impactful."
