PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
The political situation in conflict and disaster areas are often complicated and there are many factors which impede the ability of donors to step in to assist those in need. Donations are often stuck at the border due to logistical and administrative issues. Billion dollar aid agencies are not doing enough to ensure sufficient aid is channelled to these people in need. As a result, the people in these conflict and disaster areas are often isolated and dwell in a chaotic environment with ad hoc services. There is a large demand for aid and the community of people who are willing to help exist, but have not been able to reach those who need help.
