The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation just partnered with the blockchain startup Coil as part of its mission to provide payment services for the unbanked.
https://www.coindesk.com/gates-foundation-partners-with-former-ripple-ctos-blockchain-project/The organization and Coil will work together to implement the Interledger Protocol and explore ways to support pro-poor payment systems.
"According to a press release published last year, Mojaloop is an "open-source software for creating payment platforms that will help unbanked people around the world access digital financial services."
"Payments are in national currency of the given country, so that the system helps include and integrate the people (usually poor) who have historically been left out."
This is awesome. Happy to see blockchain being used for the greater good.
