“The nature of a society’s ability to recover from crisis depends on the strength of its systems. Unfortunately, the crises of the past six months have revealed fundamental flaws in our nation’s system. In order to change a system, we must first attempt to understand the historical legacies of the system we are attempting to change.”

The Everest Approach

Everest Effect is a modern, simple approach to the complex world of disaster relief. An online marketplace puts critical resources directly into the hands of impacted individuals to accelerate their recovery. Goods listed on the platform range from food and clothing to shelter and supplies. The system generates waves of change (the Effect) in a way that evades bureaucratic waste and lengthy processes. With an approach that is direct and transparent, people who need help can be reached as quickly and efficiently as possible
