Aid that arrives as groceries, not cash
- Aid delivered as groceries, not cash
- Spend limited to essentials like food and pharmacy
- A clear record for donors and auditors
Solution
Relief that arrives in minutes and stays accountable
Gift cards for disaster relief reach affected households in hours, spend on what they need most, and reconcile cleanly for donors and governments.
The challenge
Relief arrives too late
Cheques and bank transfers take days when families need food and shelter now.
Hard to reach people
Branches close and power is out, but many people still have a phone.
Donors ask for proof
After the emergency, funders need a clear account of where every dollar went.

Geo-scoped redemption
Limit gift cards to stores in the affected region, so relief supports local recovery.
