RightBoot is looking for a volunteer to help us create a communications toolkit we can share with our partners to help inform them and their stakeholders about the environmental impact of unsolicited disaster relief donations.
The donor education aspect of eliminating waste in humanitarian aid is possibly the most important piece of what RightBoot does. In 2013 when typhoon Yolanda hit the Philippines, USAID and the Center for International Disaster Information (CIDI) had enough time to send out guidance concerning donations to corporations, humanitarian organizations, and media outlets. According to those organizations surveyed after the disaster had wound down, the only identifiable unwanted aid was one palette of candy brought over by the US military. Connecting with as many people as possible is a major milestone in preventing unwanted and inappropriate donations flooding in to disaster-affected areas during their time of greatest vulnerability.
The ideal kit will be simple to implement and cover all the bases that any local community organization might use to communicate with their constituents.
Deliverables include:
- "How To Use" guide
- e-mail templates
- Social media content
- images formatted for the platform (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc)
- Copy suggestions
- FAQ's and quick facts sheet PDF
Join us and help the world Donate Better!

Mission Statement

Description
In 2017 our founder was taking a break from graduate studies by enjoying a cheeky pint at the local pub with a friend. This friend had recently returned from a work trip to Vanuatu to collaborate with local and international agencies on relief efforts still underway from the cyclones in 2015 and 2016.
They were floored by tales of comically impractical donations hampering relief efforts like those in Vanuatu: fur coats, pallets of sex toys, and even more astonishingly, an entire shipping container of only left boots. Not only were these left boots and other ridiculous commodities eating up valuable resources for those suffering from disaster and those there to help them, but they had also been left to rot, being thrown in a landfill or left where they stood.
This disconnect from the environment and the needs of the affected communities was deeply concerning. How could someone tackle this monumental issue that lurks behind the scenes of every major disaster on the planet? What if someone could combine creative materials recycling with making humanitarian aid more efficient and locally focused?
Thinking became learning, learning became planning, planning became action, and RightBoot was born.
RightBoot’s mission is to be the solution and partner for those unwanted left boots; and walk towards a world where unsolicited donations become complete aid solutions.
