While most people think of humanitarian aid as responding after a crisis begins, Direct Relief is often preparing long before disaster strikes.

Today, the organization is responding to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They're approaching five years of humanitarian aid in Ukraine. And they were on the ground supporting communities impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.

In this episode, Nick sat down with Ian Meyer, Director of Foundation Engagement at Direct Relief, to discuss what it takes to move critical medical resources around the world and why speed, preparation, and trust matter in humanitarian response.

Direct Relief's work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors, foundations, corporations, and pharmaceutical partners, allowing the organization to remain entirely privately funded and deliver aid solely on humanitarian grounds.
