When was the last time you donated money to a charity? First of all, can you reliably know which cause it went to? Did your donation or even a portion of your donation reach who it was intended to? What impact did it have for these people? If it didn’t go to helping these people where did it go? Some of these are questions that Aid:Tech's own Co-Founder, Joseph Thompson, experienced first-hand when he raised over $120k for an NGO in 2009, and could not find reliable, or any, information on where his donation had actually went. There is a complete lack of transparency and traceability of donations, and with recent controversies on top of this, it has resulted in trust in charities being at an all-time low. The overarching affect of this is on the end-beneficiary, who need the help the most.

Aid:Tech wants to solve this lack of transparency and traceability and have designed ‘TraceDonate’, utilising blockchain, and launching in the Summer of 2018 in conjunction with Irish Red Cross. ‘TraceDonate’ will allow individuals to donate directly to a group, appeal or peer-to-peer, direct to an individual. Not only can you donate directly, you can also reliably trace your donation from beginning to end and down to where the last cent (token) is spent. In addition to the Irish Red Cross; ‘TraceDonate’ is being utilised for a range of campaigns in Syria, Palestine, the US, Serbia and the Pacific Region.

For more on this and screens from ‘TraceDonate’, refer to page 19/20 of the whitepaper and https://www.tracedonate.com/

There really is no better solution then using blockchain to trace these donations. One of the biggest selling points of blockchain has always been transparency and traceability, and thus it has provided AID:Tech with a great way for everyone to know what's going on with their charitable donations.

Indeed. Transparency is one of the biggest selling points of blockchain.
AID.Tech is not only looking to ensure donors know what's going on with charitable donations.
They are also ensuring that needy can receive the help they need by providing a digital identity.

There might be billions of people without a proper keeping of their identity records; preventing them from receiving the welfare they need.

And please, share with me your thoughts.

Aid:Tech are building a transparency engine protocol and at the core of the platform will be digital Identity, AID:Tech aims to equip clients and partners including governments, institutional funders and international NGOs, with the tools to provide digital legal identity, Legal Identity is demonstrated in certification of physical documents such as passport, drivers licence, birth certificates, Right to Work etc. While, these are often taken for granted in the developed world due to the ease of access and acquisition, this is only a case for 19/198 economies for provision of a unique ID at birth and continued use. This has resulted in 2.4 billion people without any form of ID, a majority of which are women and children in developing countries and resulting in a range of economic and humanitarian issues. For example:
•   Financial Services: Approximately 2 billion people have no access
•   Human Rights: No recognition as a citizen of any state
•   Civil Rights: No right to ownership over assets or property
•   Social Safety Net: No access to pensions, healthcare; or disability support
•   Economic Independence: No access to legitimate formal employment, mobility, capital; or loans.
•   Disaster Situations: Victims of natural disaster, conflict and displacement can have difficulty accessing help when they need it the most.

Aid:Tech wishes to embrace these 2.4billion people without legal identity in the form of digital identity!

Blockchain Transparency along with digital ID, what can the combination of these 2 bring?

These digital rights fits into who profile? for example will digital certificates be issued? In which sector can I receive the digital rights using blockchain?

Hello, there will be a number of application in different areas/ contexts, for example, if you have a look at this project here-https://www.pharmaccess.org/update/pharmaccess-partners-aidtech-transform-antenatal-care-tanzania-blockchain-technology/ 
with slight adjustments, this could be extended to another group of people in an entirely different situation.
The blockchain itself serves to function as an immutable record over time. The AID:Tech platform will add greatly to this and facilitate legal certification of individuals. I am not entirely sure what you mean by which sector can you receive digital rights, but there is a range of digital rights/entitlements that will be delivered via blockchain.

Well, I understood a little about the project, the digital certificate I am referring to, for example, in the country where the person's registry is located, it can be requested by a digital certificate in which I will use to sign documents - " Prove my authenticity. ", understood?

Hey there, I am not sure if I get you. But AID.Tech will be able to give a unique digital ID to each individual.

Using the power of BlockchainTechnology to help improve the way of life for those in the world’s poorest countries can only be a step in the right direction. Find out how AID.TECH is making the dream become a reality.

what if they will not raise enough money, are they still going to develop this platform?

More of such information will be released when it comes.

So will this digital certification for each user only be used in AID: TECH or can it be used in other media in which they apply for digital certification?

Check out some of the live uses of the AID:Tech token ranging from

- Remittances
- Donations
- International Aid
- Welfare
- Healthcare

One of my personal favourite in the live uses is healthcare, with AID:Tech,
receiving proper treatment and having a proper record of an individual's health
definitely goes a long way and is able to ensure the right treatment for the patient.

Which one is your personal favourite?
Share it here and let us know why.

Wondered about Aid:Tech's compliance with GDPR, well wonder no more:

In line with GDPR requirements, all sensitive data that is personally identifiable is stored off the blockchain; either by Aid:Tech or a partner organisation. A partner organisation in this case could be for example an NGO. Of course, over time, the idea is that each user will store this data themselves.
For more info on GDPR requirements, make sure to visit https://www.eugdpr.org/

Such an important issue now, let us know your thoughts?
