When & How it all started
How was your first day at work?
Years ago, on my first humanitarian mission to Chad, I was eager to impress. I arrived wearing my best suit and finest dress shoes... and was promptly met with the country’s rainy season, scorching 45℃ weather, and lack of sanitation. I contracted malaria and food poisoning and suffered for weeks. To say I was ill-prepared is an understatement. Worse, it was preventable. — Idriss Lomba, Co-founder @ e-Care Anywhere
As an experienced aid worker, we understand the critical importance of mental health support, particularly for teams working in high-stress, trauma-prone environments. e-Care Anywhere offers an unmatched focus on mental health, with a team of professionals experienced in trauma and mental health issues specific to NGO and humanitarian work.
In 2020, e-Care Anywhere was founded to address gaps within the humanitarian field in how organizations support their overseas and HQ staff. Working in conjunction with NGOs, e-Care Anywhere helps identify these gaps and creates customized solutions to better support them.
