Venezuela Refugee Crisis
The Venezuelan refugee crisis is now considered the largest humanitarian crisis in the region, with 2,000 people estimated to be fleeing the country daily. Their journey to seek asylum includes a harsh, months long trek on foot, making those refugee shelters set up along the way vital to their chances of survival.
The ERT worked with a major INGO to design a comprehensive program management tool for refugee shelter management project including shelter logistics, refugee assessments, partner CRM, reporting and collaboration tools.
The Impact: In a few days the ERT and the INGO digitized the management of 94 shelters with annual population of 360,000, across Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico, providing relevant content and needed tools to refugees en transit.
Complete digital transformation
During the 2022 hurricane season, Mexico was hit by numerous major storms, affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
The ERT joined a leading disaster relief NGO, which responds weekly to various emergencies, to create comprehensive workflows for complete emergency response management.
within 1 week, the NGO went through a complete digital transformation, allowing it to streamline its existing processes, create cross-team collaboration, generate real time reporting and save over 30% of their time.
