A new partnership with the non-profit organization DataKind sets out to help us understand our data better. This in turn, will enable us to make more informed strategic decision, allowing us to help even more families reconnect. Watch the video to see how Mark Sharon from DataKind presented our new partnership at the joint United Nations – Datakind meetup event in NYC last month. 

DataKind is a community of data scientists who works with humanitarian causes by helping them to understand their data better and by optimizing systems and operational performance. DataKind will work with Refugees United to explore what our data can tell us about how people are using our search tools, how they connect with each other and in the end, how we can use this information to help displaced people find missing family and friends more effectively. 

We are very excited about this new partnership and the potential it holds to ultimately assist even more people reconnect with missing loved ones.
