CURRENT MISSION: COH AIR CARE - AFGHANISTAN
Help us evacuate people from Afghanistan
The collapse of the Afghan government and the Taliban ascension to power has resulted in a catastrophic humanitarian crisis that will endure for many years. As an organization that has decades of hard-earned knowledge and experience in Afghanistan, our thoughts and prayers for the Afghans are immeasurable.
We have begun evacuating people (irrespective of nationality) from Afghanistan and are actively raising funds to continue these efforts. Our commitment is that 100% percent of all money raised will be utilized to effectuate the evacuation of the many desperate men, women, and children who will otherwise be targeted for reprisal by the Taliban. The time is very short and we need your assistance now.
Every seat we fill aboard our planes is a life saved.
American Catholic leading relief efforts to evacuate Afghan refugees
One of the leading relief operations that is providing assistance to Afghans and others desperate to flee the country is led by a Catholic, Timothy Keegan, who is also CEO and Founder of The Coalition of Hope Foundation (COH) and also works in the financial sector.
Keegan established COH to provide Humanitarian Assistance & Disaster Relief (HADR) for exactly this type of broad, catastrophic emergency. He has already rescued and evacuated nearly 30 individuals in Kabul at grave risk of being tortured and killed if captured by the Taliban. Read the complete article or download the PDF
ABOUT COH AIR CARE
In support of Project Excelsior, COH is developing flight-based, aid-distribution & emergency evacuation technologies utilizing our ships as logistical platforms. From the decks of our vessels, “COH AIR CARE” will link Command & Control (C2) capability to COH ground personnel and other expeditionary NGO partners within the Area of Operation (AO) in order to support critical supply needs. This partnership “reach back” capability will serve as a force-multiplier and provide a monumental advancement within HADR environments as we seek to streamline the coordination of post-disaster response and recovery.

MED-PODS
COH AIR CARE will utilize sophisticated medical drones for patient evacuations from remote or high risk locations using “medical evacuation pods” (Med-Pods). These highly advanced pods will provide a safe environment for patients during flight, and will communicate with ship-based medical sta in order to monitor and adjust medical therapy in flight. The Med-Pods equipped with a closed ventilation system will allow for safe evacuation of infectious patients or through hazardous environments. In the event of loss of communication, the Med-Pods will have embedded artificial intelligence capability to adjust therapy within default parameters. The current limitation of noise, vibration and space using evacuation helicopters will be diminished, allowing for enhanced monitoring and therapeutic interventions using robotics. Our design and engineering allows patients to remain in their Med-Pod after air lift has completed. Once the pod is removed from its airborne docking port, the patient will be seamlessly removed and transported via our surface vessels. These innovations have direct implications for HADR environments, combat zones, and other casualty disaster areas. Within these challenging environments, the Med-Pods communication capabilities will enable streamlined triage, medical monitoring and advanced care from the “last tactical mile” to superior medical care aboard our vessels.
ON-DEMAND EMERGENCY SUPPLIES
A key element of AIR CARE includes a pioneering approach to the delivery of emergency medicine and supplies customized for Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) environments. This innovative approach allows for the delivery of desperately needed “pre-packaged and need-specific” supplies via individual or massed formations of air-drones to specific geographic coordinates.
Our supply drones are waterproof, and combine long endurance, high payload capacity with a near-silent acoustic signature for a wide variety of mission capabilities including; real-time reconnaissance, thus creating a better defined common operating picture which allows our humanitarian relief teams to make more informed decisions in austere conditions.
