The UN recently announced it was using The Stellar Blockchain to send financial aid to Ukraine. 

As the financial infrastructure continues to suffer because of the war, the use of blockchain allows for money to be sent to those in need, faster and cheaper than more traditional methods. 

This is just one example of how blockchain can help humanitarian initiatives. In this episode, Lacey Hunter, CEO and Co-Founder of TechAid, joins us to take a look at how crypto can be used for good and the role of Blockchain in humanitarian initiatives.

TechAid is a web3 startup envisioned at the World Economic Forum that enables a data-driven approach to humanitarian aid. Lacey believes access to proper nutrition is a fundamental human right for families everywhere, that should not be dictated by the arbitrary nature of one’s birthplace or gender.

Lacey is passionate about the potential of combining existing technologies to facilitate the connection of food supply with demand, and turning the tide of the escalating global hunger crisis. She is fascinated with the incredible potential of blockchain for the capture and transmission of data.
