About DNI

Who We Are

DNI’s founders watched in dismay as cases of COVID 19 continued to rise that could have been prevented if people had access to fairly priced and quality PPE. DNI knew the effects of COVID-19 would greatly impact the basic human rights of people and leave lasting impacts that would require long term solutions.

Having been on the front line in the SARS epidemic in Asia in 2002, assisting in relief efforts of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi and Louisiana in 2004, and working to stem the Ebola outbreak while in Africa in 2014, in addition to many other international crisis DNI founder Mark Smith and his team of international business and development professionals have the relationships and experience to quickly respond to humanitarian crisis that affect basic human rights.

DNI Core Beliefs

  • DNI supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in every program we implement
