Your organization works across borders, but your payment infrastructure probably doesn't. NGOs and cooperatives working internationally deal with uncertain environments where barriers to funding impacted communities are often outside your control. When disaster strikes, time is of the essence. Delayed transfers, delayed approvals and blocked transactions are familiar issues for NGOs all over the world. Traditional banking wasn't built for organizations working in crisis zones or under-banked regions. This hands-on workshop covers cryptocurrency and blockchain as practical tools for international money transfers. We'll walk through how crypto payments work, when they make sense, and how organizations like yours are already using them to reach partners traditional banking can't serve.What You'll LearnWhy traditional cross-border payments sometimes fail NGOsHow cryptocurrency addresses these barriers alongside existing infrastructureLive walkthrough: sending funds using blockchain toolsReal case study: ETH Evacuations and crisis zone fundingContext-dependent implementation (which countries, tokens, how to acquire them)What You'll Leave WithClear understanding of when crypto makes sense for your organizationSetup guides, best practices and documentationOngoing support and consultation optionsNo technical experience required.
