On 19 August, we celebrate humanitarians around the world who strive to save and protect people in need – in disaster-stricken regions and on the front lines of conflict.

This year, the UN’s World Humanitarian Day (WHD) campaign brings together the global humanitarian community to mark the twentieth anniversary of the attack on the UN headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq. As the UN continues to show their unwavering commitment to deliver for the communities they serve, we are honoured and humble to support their important work.

Since 2015, our solutions have helped The Human Rights Council and the UN collect data around violations of human rights. The Council is an inter-governmental body within the United Nations system responsible for strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights around the globe and for addressing situations of human rights violations.

As a company who dedicates itself to help those who help, we are honoured to work with the UN and other humanitarian organisations from around the world.
