Distribute Aid Team
We’re a small, diverse, and international team. Our team members are highly-skilled volunteers and experienced community organisers serving their local communities. They actively choose to spend several hours a week putting their skillset to good use to help Distribute Aid to deliver more aid for less money and create impact far greater than our organisation’s size would imply.
