The UPS Foundation also commits to support innovative approaches to humanitarian response, particularly at the local and national levels, by solving complex humanitarian challenges in controlled environments and then transferring the lessons learnt to the field. As an example, UPS has created a global partnership that will evolve the first drone delivery network this year in Rwanda in partnership with GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance, and Zipline, a robotics company, to deliver life-saving blood and vaccines to remote, often inaccessible locations. The Rwanda drone network will explore using drones to transform the way life-saving medicines are delivered and serve as a model for advancing humanitarian response in other countries.
