About After Five Collective Inc.
After Five Collective Inc. is a social purpose company based in Toronto, Canada, operating AlerteUnité, a community intelligence and early-warning platform. We work alongside communities in Haiti, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Venezuela, and Canada to strengthen resilience to climate and humanitarian emergencies, guided by a “mirror” approach: communities as co-creators, not aid recipients.
