Who Are YPDR?

With over 15 years in the field YPDR are the only company with expertise spread across all the key areas needed for successful travel to conflict zones.

Originally established as a social enterprise based around disaster response, we have since expanded and adapted into our current incarnation.

We are an independent entity linked, but not directly associated with any other company, but with the ability to call upon numerous partners in various related sectors.

Through our shared experiences in travel to dangerous areas, media and filming, as well as front line journalism and security YPDR was founded as means to facilitate travel and business within conflict, or politically unstable zones.

What sets us apart is that due to our impartiality, we have access to places others simply do not, we have been and regularly go to these places, and when problems have arisen, we have known and know how to deal with them.

We are not purveyors of war tourism, we are connectors, facilitators, and security providers in some of the most difficult-to-reach places on earth.

The world is not a safe place, but whether you are doing humanitarian, journalistic work, or business, YPDR can help to mitigate these risks.

We are here to help you get the job done with minimal risk and maximum security. Our goal is to make sure that you can focus on what matters most: your mission. We strive to be your partner in this process.
