LET’S MAKE DISASTERS LESS DISRUPTIVE #ResponseToResilience
Disaster Response Pooled Fund
Last year alone, 2,936 lives were lost, 3,63,381 homes destroyed, and 61,826 cattle perished due to hydro-meteorological disasters in India.
Now, imagine that each of those homes sheltered an average of four people. That means over 1.4 million lives were shattered overnight.

It has been wonderful to engage with the work of HAI, to see the fantastic work they are doing to support front line workers, as well as pull more transparency and accountability into the system through their work on the data platform. We look forward to continuing the collaboration with them
Tanya Wood

HAI has made significant strides in humanitarian response, disaster risk reduction, and climate resilience work. We extend our sincere appreciation to HAI, particularly for conceptualizing and developing the Dashboard for Aid Transparency and Accountability (DATA)—a pioneering initiative in the humanitarian sector. DATA is set to revolutionize transparency and accountability in humanitarian funding across India, ensuring aid reaches those in need more effectively and efficiently.

HAI’s focus on enabling the grassroots NGOs towards disaster risk reduction and mitigation is a unique one. It is commendable that HAI is working towards the national agenda of community level preparedness and their resilience building to be able to respond to a bigger disaster
Dr. Nidhi Pundir
