About Us

Meet the dedicated team behind UDRF

Who We Are

We are a 100% volunteer-operated organization, meaning that no executive or field volunteer receives a salary. This structure ensures that the vast majority of funds go directly toward disaster relief. Only 10% of donations are allocated to essential operational costs, such as bank fees, money transfers, currency exchange, and the transportation of aid to those in need.

Our Mission

Our board consists of seven dedicated members from diverse backgrounds who collaboratively manage the organization and personally contribute to our relief efforts. As a group of friends, we united our individual humanitarian initiatives to form this organization in response to the ongoing crises in Gaza, Sudan, and Congo. Our mission is to provide critical aid wherever it is needed, leveraging the resources and networks available to us.

Our Journey

In December 2024, we officially became a licensed NGO at both the state and federal levels. Since then, we have been actively providing life-saving assistance to civilians affected by conflict, with a primary focus on Gaza. With your support, we aim to expand our relief efforts to other conflict zones, ensuring that aid reaches those who need it most.

We all deserve equality. If we don't fight for justice for everyone, we're only fighting to protect privilege. It's all of us or none of us—and the time to act is now.

A future built on inequality is unsustainable. If our advocacy isn't universal, we are merely choosing who gets to succeed. Our mission is all-encompassing: no one left behind, starting today.

Helping people in need is not just an act of kindness—it's a moral responsibility and a human obligation. It's how we preserve dignity, build compassion, and create meaningful change.

UDRF is a key stepping stone into breaking the non-profit industrial complex. We must treat peoples immediate needs in tandem with correcting the root causes.
