As technological advancements reshape industries, the charity sector, often underserved by cutting-edge solutions, may be transformed by Stellar’s Disbursement Platform or SDP. A brainchild of the Stellar Development Foundation and supported by BPV, this platform promises to redefine how charities distribute aid, ensuring maximal impact for every dollar donated.

Analysis:

• Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) Ascendance:

  By 2019, CVA based aid hit $5.6 billion. The increase of cash assistance over material goods combined with its cost efficiency makes a compelling use case. If the momentum continues, CVA may constitute up to 50% of global humanitarian aid

  • Accessibility:  Catering to the unbanked population.

  • Risk Reduction: A safer transactional environment.

• The platform's robustness is attributed to principles encompassing secure storage, adaptability, global reach, value preservation, and tailored aid solutions.
