Centralizing Aid When It Matters Most
When Cyclonic Storm Ditwah made landfall in Sri Lanka on 28 November 2025, it left behind one of the most devastating humanitarian crises in recent years. Over 1.4 million people were affected across all 25 districts. In the days that followed, something remarkable happened: Sri Lankans stepped up for each other.
Developers, volunteers, designers, animal rescuers, students, and people from every corner of the country came together to build tools and platforms overnight. We saw community driven solutions for flood support, animal rescue, missing person finders, donation coordination, educational resources, and even an official government backed website to help rebuild the nation. It was a powerful reminder of how deeply rooted compassion is within our country.
But amid all the goodwill, we noticed a critical issue.
The Problem We Saw
All these resources, though impactful, were scattered everywhere. Facebook groups. Instagram stories. WhatsApp chats. Google Sheets. Standalone websites. If you were someone in need or someone trying to help, finding the right information meant jumping across a dozen platforms. In a crisis, every second counts, and that complexity was costing valuable time.
To our team, this gap became very personal. One of our team members had to report a missing person during the storm, and the only reliable information they found was through our own internal chat. It made us ask ourselves: what if we could bring all these life saving resources into one place?
