A new partnership between RESOLVE and Project Northern Lights supports COVID-19 response in Canada to connect local makers and assist with the safe delivery of medical supplies to the communities who need them most.
RESOLVE, through its RESOLVE Canada office, and Project Northern Lights are pleased to announce a new partnership to join forces to expand networks and scale impact in Canada and globally.
Founded to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, Project Northern Lights connects local makers to resources and assists with the safe delivery of medical supplies to vulnerable, marginalized, and remote communities that need them most.
As the COVID-19 crisis impacts our communities and the world around us, Project Northern Lights formed rapidly, identified the needs in communities, and advanced innovative responses. A volunteer-driven organization, Project Northern Lights is seeking catalytic resources to deliver PPE where it's needed most, including material inputs for PPE, distribution, shipping and delivery.
Through this new partnership, RESOLVE Canada will work with Project Northern Lights on project delivery to the communities in Canada most severely impacted by COVID-19.
This new partnership is part of RESOLVE's COVID-19 response initiative. It complements Open Source Medical Supplies, Makers Respond, Mimosi Connect and Truvi. We continue to focus on ways to mobilize our networks and rapidly develop, test, deploy, and scale creative solutions to tackle urgent problems during the COVID-19 crisis. In addition to the near term needs associated with COVID-19 response, with these partnerships we are building the long term capacity of communities, the private sector, civil society, institutions, and governments to prepare for and respond to public health, environmental, and economic emergencies.

At RESOLVE, we’re here to tackle the toughest global challenges. The ones nobody else wants to touch. Where people are in conflict and planet problems are stuck. We’re here to unstick them. It’s not easy. It takes grit and ingenuity. And finding and working with the right partners. But we’re not called RESOLVE for nothing.
