Ten years ago today, Zipline made the world’s first lifesaving drone delivery in Rwanda.
Three million deliveries later, more than 60,000 lives have been saved. Meet the people on the other end of these deliveries in our new video series, Stories from the Sky.
Every delivery has a story. This one comes from Cote d’Ivoire, where seven-year-old Kone Aminata was hospitalized with malaria and needed a transfusion urgently—but the hospital had just run out of blood. Her parents share what it took to save her life.
Zipline just raised $1.5 billion in new funding. This money will go towards building a nationwide drone delivery network.
There’s a better, greener future on the horizon and we’re just starting to realize it.
“I was always the go-getter working 1-2 jobs, being active with my kids, helping other people’s families and then all of a sudden I needed the help.” A heart attack and stroke changed Mindy Scott’s life forever. Newly homebound during the day, she uses Zipline to maintain a sense of independence.
2K lives saved and counting from our three-year pilot with Cote d’Ivoire. Our nationwide expansion in September of this year will extend our national reach to 12M people along the Ivory Coast.
