Automating aid to increase impact in Spain

For families facing food insecurity, efficient support can make a meaningful difference. In Spain, Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are working with Altius Foundation to improve how essential goods are received and distributed to those in need. Through AWS’ pro bono Giveback programme, the partners developed a digital tool that automates key processes, reducing waiting times and freeing up capacity for counselling and support.

These efforts demonstrate how technology, logistics and long-term partnerships can strengthen community support and increase social impact. Read the full story on Invested in Europe
