African Initiatives for Relief and Development (AIRD) was founded in 2006 in Kampala, Uganda by a small group of individuals who envisioned an African-initiated organization that could deliver world-class humanitarian support for those displaced by conflict and other disasters. Since its creation, AIRD has been playing a unique role in enabling humanitarian responses; and positively impacting and saving lives of more than 20 million people across Africa.
To achieve this, AIRD has been working with various strategic partners, including Governments of countries where we have a presence, and donors, including, UNHCR, UNICEF, USAID, UNDP, WFP, OCHA, IOM, among others. AIRD’s key focus areas have primarily been the transportation of refugees & nonfood items (logistics) and extensive construction & infrastructure developments, including shelters, bridges, hospitals, schools, roads, etc.
Other activities include fuel management, fleet management, warehouse management, workshop management, Livelihood projects, and Water Sanitation & hygiene (WASH). AIRD currently works in 12 countries, including, Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Burundi, Niger, Cote D’Ivoire, Tanzania, South Sudan, and Uganda.
