CURRENT CHALLENGES

International Rescue Committee

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) (www.rescue.org) is the world's largest non-profit organization with an exclusive focus on helping people affected by conflict and disaster.  Through their Airbel Impact Lab, they engaged with SeaFreight Labs to use crowd-solving to search for solutions to the most intractable problems for refugees - problems that affect millions of people.  The engagement consists of multiple challenges.  Click HERE for more details.    

​

This engagement is part of our commitment to the Pledge-1% movement.​
