Flexport & Aid Pioneers Partnership Review
Getting the right supplies to the right place.
Moving essential items from A to B is one of the main differences between humanitarian aid remaining an intention and becoming real support.
Flexport’s generosity and commitment to the partnership with Aid Pioneers have helped make that possible: 38 shipments delivering €12.8m worth of goods (and counting), from life-saving medical supplies to Ukraine and South Sudan to solar equipment for schools and health facilities in Lebanon and Syria.
Because logistics often is the bottleneck, your support has unlocked far more value than transport alone. Across these shipments, the average donation multiplier was 31.5, meaning that the $ 407,399 in shipping cost that we have recorded helped unlock significantly more impact on the ground.
Thank you for all we have achieved together!

Medical support beyond Ukrainian frontlines
A 40-foot shipment to Ternopil’s regional hospital arrived just before a deadly strike, showing why medical aid must reach beyond the front. Since 2022 we’ve delivered 37 shipments at a value of $14.3m to 400+ health facilities arc.
Reliable power for Idlib University Hospital
Serving 185,000+ patients a month with just 70 beds, Idlib University Hospital faces constant power instability that damages critical equipment and risks vaccine spoilage. A solar system is now being installed to stabilise electricity for vaccines and ICU care, which will effectively help delive 75,000 additional treatments over 10 years.

Restoring ICU Care in Tigray
With only 3% of health facilities fully functioning in post-war Tigray, 44 ICU beds were distributed to 11 hospitals, aimed to relieve pressure on overcrowded wards and enabling new intensive-care services. At Mekelle Hospital, this support has helped open ICU care for the first time in its 70-year history.
“The donation of mattresses and beds has put a smile on the faces of pregnant mothers. Our babies can also get good sleep because of the comfort on the mattresses.
Previously when I gave birth here for my second daughter, we slept on sleeves of shredded boxes. It was very uncomfortable for me and my baby. This will motivate many mothers to come to the facility to give birth.”
— Topista, mother at Pibor Hospital, South Sudan
