Lifting Hands International

Lifting Hands International is a humanitarian nonprofit supporting refugees, internally displaced people, and communities affected by conflict, displacement, and crisis. Since its founding, LHI has worked across 39 countries, providing human-centered support including material aid, psychosocial support, education, livelihoods, medical assistance, and emergency response.

LHI uses ActivityInfo as its central platform for monitoring, evaluation, accountability, and learning across direct and partner-led projects. The platform supports monthly reporting, participant surveys, distribution records, participant tracking, media documentation, feedback systems, and internal data visualization.

For LHI, ActivityInfo helps connect very different programs in one system, while still allowing forms, languages, and workflows to be adapted to each project context.

‟ActivityInfo has helped LHI move from scattered reporting across spreadsheets, forms, and country-specific tools toward a unified MEAL system. It gives us enough structure to report consistently across programs, while still allowing us to adapt forms and workflows to very different field realities. It has also become a useful capacity-building tool for smaller and grassroots partners. Many do not have dedicated MEAL staff, so reporting systems need to be practical and straightforward. Through ActivityInfo, we can help partners document their work, share progress and challenges, and build confidence in using data for learning and decision-making. We have also really appreciated the responsiveness of the ActivityInfo team, especially when we needed language support or practical adjustments to make the platform more accessible for our teams and participants.”
