Humanity Road is a humanitarian organization that delivers disaster preparedness and response information to the global mobile public before, during, and after a disaster. Providing aid information helps individuals survive, sustain, and reunite with each other and with their pets. Humanity Road strives to close the disaster communications gap through process improvement, collaboration, partnerships, education and training.

Humanity Road has awarded their prestigious 2013 Da Vinci awards to Translator’s without Borders for their support during Typhoon Haiyan and Progeny Systems for their small business innovation partnership dedicated to process improvement. Both organizations provided critical support for Humanity Road disaster response operations for the Philippines.

The Da Vinci Medal is awarded every year to a Patron or contributor who has added significant value in support of Humanity Road programs through donations in kind or contributions. Award recipients of are chosen by the Humanity Road Board of Directors.

As Typhoon Haiyan approached the coastline of the Philippines, Humanity Road reached out in partnership with Translators without Borders for assistance. According to Humanity Road:
    "TWB response to our request was fast and within hours we had our first translation assistance. Lois Goldman and Noemi Katuin were assigned to our team and their support continued for weeks. They helped monitor social media in language and translated text and video messages emerging in social media. The support provided by Translators without Borders helped save lives and also provided message relay support to reunite families who were rescued."


Special thanks and congratulations to ProZ.com members Lois, lysander canlas, Carol Pons and Joy Navarro.
