Needslist is North American software social enterprise that creates logistics software for use in humanitarian crises.[1][2][3][4] The software has been used throughout the globe by governments and not-for-profits, most notably supporting Venezuelan refugees in Peru[5] and Afghan refugees in USA.[6]
Services
Needslist produces software, often described as "a wedding registry for humanitarian aid"[7] that connects people and groups who need things with organizations and companies who provide things.[2][8] Corporate clients include WeWork, TripAdvisor, and Starbucks.[8]
Notable uses
Needslist has been used in national emergency responses in Venezuela,[7][5] Italy,[9] USA,[2][10] Greece,[2][11] Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, Iraq,[12] and in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[13]
In 2021 Needslist collaborated with Commurazione Internazionale, Diálogo Diverso y Presente Perú, CORE Group, and Scalabrini International Migration Network to create the Red Recuperación software platform to support Venezuelan migrants in Peru. The software guides migrants on how to access immigration advice, clothing, hygiene items, and food.[12][14]
In 2021, the US Afghan refugee support organization Welcome.US used Needslist software to coordinate support to refugees arriving in USA.[6]
