Aidiuva Clears the Clutter When Disaster Strikes

A message from GladGrade’s founder, Miguel A. Giraldo

When tragedy strikes, helping shouldn’t be the hardest part.

Over the past few days, as I looked for ways to help the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, I found myself spending too much time searching through social media, news articles, and countless websites trying to answer simple questions:

  • Which organizations are actually helping?
  • What supplies do they need?
  • Where are they collecting donations?
  • How can I help?

I realized there wasn’t a single place where all of this information was organized and easy to find.

So I built Aidiuva.

One place for disaster relief coordination

Aidiuva is a humanitarian coordination platform that brings together disaster relief efforts in one place. It allows people to quickly find ongoing emergencies, discover verified organizations responding to them, see exactly what supplies are needed, locate donation centers, and access official donation links.

But Aidiuva is more than a directory. Humanitarian organizations can self-onboard, create their own profiles, publish emergency events, update their real-time needs, add donation drop-off locations, and share fundraising links — allowing the public to always have the most up-to-date information.

Where to find Aidiuva

Organizations can register and manage their information through the self-service administration portal at admin.aidiuva.com. The public platform is available at www.aidiuva.com.

Aidiuva is currently available in English and Spanish, with additional languages planned as the platform grows.

This project reflects something we strongly believe at GladGrade: technology should solve real problems and empower people to make a difference.

If you know of humanitarian organizations that respond to disasters anywhere in the world, I’d greatly appreciate it if you shared Aidiuva with them. The more organizations that participate, the easier it becomes for people everywhere to help those who need it most.

Together, we can make helping simpler, faster, and more effective.
