Our founder - lekha singh
Lekha Singh is the visionary behind Aidmatrix. Lekha not only founded the organization but also pioneered the use of innovative technology to change the way aid is delivered both in disaster relief and in day to day needs. She was concerned that much needed food and medical supplies were going to the landfill while many people went hungry and without medicine.
Lekha’s idea was to combine business best practices and technologies with the broad capabilities of the Internet to streamline the way aid was delivered without hurting the dignity of the person in need. Lekha Singh’s goal for Aidmatrix was to touch 50 million lives by 2005, and this goal was achieved. In a way that had never been done before, Aidmatrix provided nonprofits with the means to break the technology barrier.
Right now, in food delivery alone, Aidmatrix enables more than an annual $1.5 billion in aid to be processed through the partnership of nonprofits, for-profits, aid agencies and technology companies. From a few nascent ideas in the areas of disaster relief, fundraising and supply chain, Lekha created an organization now poised to respond to a world in need.
