Airbnb And Pan American Health Organization Announce Partnership
Airbnb is partnering with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to provide our community with food safety resources such as food safety guidelines, trainings, and general food safety tips. PAHO is world's oldest international public health agency and Regional Office for the Americas of the World Health Organization (WHO). Its mission is to lead strategic collaborative efforts among its member states and other partners to promote equity in health, to combat disease, and to improve the lives of the people of the Americas.
Leveraging international food standards, PAHO and WHO work to support technical cooperation between countries with the goal of strengthening national systems and guaranteeing food safety with consequent reduction in the risk(s) of foodborne diseases.
Airbnb has developed "Guidelines for Safe Food Handling" for Cooking Experiences, based on PAHO/WHO's Five Keys to Safer Food program. Learn more below.

About Airbnb
Airbnb was born in 2007 when two Hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million Hosts who have welcomed over 1.5 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, Hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way.
About Airbnb.org
Airbnb.org is a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating temporary stays for people in times of crisis around the world. Airbnb.org operates independently and leverages Airbnb, Inc.'s technology, services, and other resources at no charge to carry out Airbnb.org's charitable purpose. The inspiration for Airbnb.org began in 2012 with a single host named Shell who opened up her home to people impacted by Hurricane Sandy. This sparked a movement and marked the beginning of a program that allows Hosts on Airbnb to provide stays for people in times of need. Since then, the program has evolved to focus on emergency response and to help provide stays to evacuees, relief workers, refugees, asylum seekers, and frontline workers fighting the spread of COVID-19. Since then, Hosts have offered to open up their homes and helped provide accommodations to 100,000 people in times of need. Airbnb.org is a separate and independent entity from Airbnb, Inc. Airbnb, Inc. does not charge service fees for Airbnb.org supported stays on its platform.
