Humanitarian Aid Is In-Sight, featuring Madi Williamson and Leena Zahra of In-Sight Collaborative

In this episode, CMES Outreach Coordinator Krishna Kulkarni speaks to Madi Williamson and Leena Zahra of In-Sight Collaborative, a humanitarian aid organization working with refugee communities in Europe and the Middle East. Madi and Leena detail their experiences with aid delivery to refugees and identify key problems in how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) traditionally operate – and why In-Sight Collaborative’s model addresses those challenges.
