ABOUT FIELD READY
Field Ready is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to empowering people living in complex environments to make the things they need, where they need them, when they need them. We do this by bringing innovation to international disaster relief and increasing the capacity of local supply chains in aid and development.
Our vision is to meet humanitarian needs by transforming logistics through technology, innovative design, partnerships with local manufacturers and leading relief organizations, and engaging people in new ways. We make useful items to solve problems locally using the latest technology, as well as traditional local manufacturing. We build capacity to extend this impact and enable others to foster their own resilience. In the long term, we are building an organization that can respond to need wherever it may be most felt. The impact of this will be dramatically improving the efficiency of aid delivery by meeting people’s needs where they experience them whether at an underserved health clinic, remote distribution point, or evacuation center. Field Ready is a US-based 501c3; more information can be found at www.fieldready.org.
