Koda (pronounced ko-da¿) is the Dakota word for friend. It denotes a trusted allyship that carries great responsibility.
KODA Aid International was founded in 2016 with the goal of mobilizing everyday people to befriend refugees. It is less of an organization and more of an aid initiative that relies on a movement of compassion and hope.
In the past eight years, KODA has been involved in grassroots refugee advocacy, connecting generous people directly with the needs of people. We facilitate aid to refugees for evacuation, resettlement, and medical procedures.
The KODA partnership network is extensive with allies in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and America. Find out more about our work through our current projects.
