Introduction

Sahana Eden is a Humanitarian Management Platform developed, managed and maintained by the Sahana Software foundation. The Sahana Software Foundation is dedicated to the mission of saving lives by providing information management solutions that enable organizations and communities to better prepare for and respond to disasters. They develop free and open source software and provide services that help solve concrete problems and bring efficiencies to disaster response coordination between governments, aid organizations, civil society and the survivors themselves.

Some of the services provided by the Sahana Software foundation are:

  • Reuniting separated families through registering missing and found persons.
  • Tracking and managing requests for help from individuals and organizations.
  • Tracking organizations and programs responding to the disaster, including the coverage and balance in the distribution of aid, providing transparency in the response effort.
  • Enabling relevant sharing of information across organizations.
