A collection of free, open-source humanitarian software tools for NGOs, researchers, universities, civic technologists, public-interest developers, students, community organizations, and local governments working on climate data, climate health, disaster resilience, food security, water access, energy equity, education research, crisis coordination, and research infrastructure.
This suite is designed to provide public-interest organizations with inspectable, forkable, and self-hostable software foundations for humanitarian and civic technology work.
The goal is to help mission-driven teams move faster by giving them reusable software starting points for collecting data, analyzing risks, visualizing problems, coordinating resources, supporting communities, and organizing research workflows.

These projects are designed around a common humanitarian software pattern:
Collect data -> analyze risk -> visualize needs -> coordinate action -> support communities -> organize research
- ClimateDataFetcher supports climate and environmental data collection.
- ClimateHealthMapper connects climate data with public health risk mapping.
- DisasterResilienceHub supports preparedness, response, and resilience planning.
- FoodSecurityNet supports food security analysis and mission-driven planning.
- WaterAccessOptimizer supports water access planning and infrastructure analysis.
- EnergyEquityGrid supports energy equity research and community energy planning.
- EduGeneLearn supports education and research workflows.
- CrisisConnect supports humanitarian coordination between people in need and organizations that can help.
- Research-OS supports research organization, knowledge workflows, and public-interest research infrastructure.
The suite is intended to help organizations and communities avoid starting from scratch when building civic and humanitarian software. Each project can be studied, forked, adapted, deployed, and extended depending on the needs of the organization or community.
Possible users include:
- A nonprofit mapping food insecurity
- A university researching climate-health risk
- A civic-tech team building disaster response tools
- A community organization tracking water access needs
- A local government exploring energy equity planning
- A humanitarian group coordinating crisis support
- A research team organizing public-interest research workflows
People can help by:
- Testing the projects
- Improving documentation
- Opening issues
- Contributing code
- Creating deployment guides
- Sharing the tools with NGOs, universities, civic-tech groups, and public-interest organizations
- Adapting the software for real-world humanitarian use cases
Each project has its own open-source license. Please review the license file in each repository before use, modification, or deployment.
