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
Aid that can’t be claimed twice
Gift cards for aid go into a wallet tied to a verified ID, so each household is paid once, spends on what the aid is for, and leaves a full audit trail.
The challenge
Duplicate claims
Two households, or one person with several email addresses, can claim the same payout through Interac e-Transfer or email links.
Aid spent on the wrong things
Cash can’t be limited to groceries, pharmacy or shelter, so donors can’t promise what it buys.
Hard to reconcile
Auditors need to know who got what and when, and payout spreadsheets rarely answer that.

Yes. Gift cards can be limited to categories such as groceries, pharmacy and shelter, so funds are used as intended.
A full audit trail of what was issued, to whom, when it was spent and at which brand.
