Digital ecosystem as a driver of scale
Since 2022, the organization has assisted 217,000+ war-affected people in 8 regions of Ukraine in humanitarian response, protection, psychosocial support, education, and GBV prevention and response.
A key driver of this scale has been systematic digital automation and an in-house digital ecosystem: automated monitoring and reporting, CRM processes, AI-assisted application screening, and chatbots.
Since 2021, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has used the organization’s digital products to automate exchange program administration. Through this experience, the team shows how digitalization changes not only efficiency, but the very nature of the nonprofit sector.
