    1. Legal aid — insurance claims (insured & uninsured)

      Your policy says you're covered. Your insurer will spend eleven months denying it. Every earthquake proves this. Why now. Colombian insurers are already denying Chocó claims by citing terremoto exclusions that don't apply to the zoning, or by demanding eviden…

    2. Legal aid — state indemnizaciones (RUD + tutelas)

      Colombia has COP 10 trillion in disaster relief on paper. Most of it never reaches damnificados — because the Registro Único de Damnificados closes 30 days after the event and half the forms get rejected on filing errors. Why now. The 30-day RUD window on thi…

    3. Damage map — pick a house to rebuild

      Donors don't want "another rebuild fund". They want to point to a specific house and say I paid for that one . Why now. RAAIRO's Cali + Quibdó damage register is already collecting the raw data — GPS, photos, family, structural report, cost estimate. It's sit…

    1. Case tracking for unaccompanied minors

      250 dead, 600 injured — but every child whose parents didn't come home is a full-time coordination problem for someone. Why now. Hospitals, shelters and ICBF (Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar) each keep their own paper log. When a child is transferr…

    Legal aid — insurance claims (insured & uninsured)

    Your policy says you're covered. Your insurer will spend eleven months denying it. Every earthquake proves this. We'd build a guided claim-preparation web app on top of gericht.online: victim uploads photos + policy + damage evidence in 10 minutes → app produces the specific demand letter with Superfinanciera-tested arguments, escalation path, and arbitration template. AI drafts, RA | AI | RO Colombian lawyers sign. Uninsured track routes to solidarity funds + civil liability against a negligent builder. No hourly fees. Denial-rate collapses when the claimant shows up with a demand letter that reads like a lawyer wrote it — because a lawyer did.

    Legal aid — state indemnizaciones (RUD + tutelas)

    Colombia has COP 10 trillion in disaster relief on paper. Most of it never reaches damnificados — because the Registro Único de Damnificados closes 30 days after the event and half the forms get rejected on filing errors. The 30-day window closes ~9 Sep 2026. We'd build a guided RUD-filing app plugged into gericht.online: snap Cédula, geotag house, upload demolition photos → app pre-fills the RUD form correctly, schedules the Alcaldía verification, and drafts a one-click tutela if denied. Each successful RUD unlocks COP 3M–15M per family — 500 families = COP 1.5B–7.5B unblocked at zero cost.

    Damage map — pick a house to rebuild

    Donors don't want another rebuild fund. They want to point to a specific house and say I paid for that one. RAAIRO's Cali + Quibdó damage register is already collecting the raw data — GPS, photos, family, structural report, cost estimate — waiting to become a map. Public map, one pin per damaged home. Click a pin: photos (before/after/progress), family context, cost estimate, funding %. Checkout on Stripe or HappyPot → funds held under that specific address in a segregated wallet until the mason starts. Progress photos ship to the donor. Direct-mapping donors give 3–5× more than pool donors.
