What do we do and who is it for?
At Humanitarian Data Solutions, our heartbeat, our ‘why’, is to love, serve, and restore hope and choice to people living in crisis.
We do this by training aid workers and change-makers in essential data skills and providing consulting services in high-quality data collection design and data visualization.
There is a gap in data skills across our sector. We run the Humanitarian Data Academy, through which we offer courses in KoBoToolbox, Power BI, QGIS, and Excel, using humanitarian-centric data and contextual examples to ensure relevance for frontline operations.
Additionally, our commitment to accessible learning extends to offering free data tutorials through channels such as our YouTube channel and website. This approach allows anyone, regardless of budget constraints, to collect, analyze, and visualize data with excellence.
We’ve worked with:

What our clients think...

“The course was so interesting. What I liked about the course was the way Janna organized the modules. Her explanations were very interesting, and the involvement of practical examples made it easier for practice. Additionally, the community around it was also a good one because it helped us with networking, and this helped us make more friends across the world. Being quick at responding to emails and questions in the community also made the course so much different from other online courses I have ever taken. The weekly Zoom meetings made the course extraordinary and so much more interactive because here we were given a chance to be live and interact with our classmates. Thanks for all, Janna!” -
