ReliefBox documentation

ReliefBox is a tool for managing the distribution of relief items during humanitarian emergencies. Given a list of beneficiaries, ReliefBox helps you track who received aid and when, and makes this information available before, during and after the distribution. ReliefBox was designed to be easy to use and fast to set up.

• Works both online on multiple devices and offline on a single device.

• Supports multiple, independent distributions at the same time.

• Does not support deduplication of beneficiaries across distributions, i.e. does not check if a beneficiary in a given distribution is a recipient in another one.

• Does not support distribution of multiple, distinct items to each beneficiary.

• Does not support role-based access control.

Check out the usage section for further information, including how to install it yourself.
