Horizon Aid aims to help less affluent areas around the world that are impacted by more severe accidents and higher mortality rates. These areas typically have slower response times, which inevitably results in more deaths. Additionally, underfunded communities lack resources and personnel that would have otherwise been able to quicken response times. With Horizon Aid's rapid aid response drones, we can find people trapped in debris and deliver first aid quickly, effectively negating the struggles listed above.
Over the past few decades, there have been about 45,000 deaths per year as a result of natural disasters. Horizon Aid promotes equality by bringing quality humanitarian aid to areas with slower responses to crisis. The utilization of Horizon Aid's drones decreases response times and thus, the mortality rate during times of disaster.
