This move from one specific project to more diverse projects allow for many and diverse donations by donors. As simple and intuitive, it has been to donate to the first project, Water Wells, for West Africa, as easy it is to now select the favorite project and donate with just a few taps.

Today, we have onboarded a second project by YOU Foundation – The Power of Eggs. With this project, YOU Foundation demonstrates that a child’s life can be saved with just one egg per day. The on-site campaign includes training on healthy eating and knowledge about hard-boiled eggs. It also includes the purchase and acquisition of laying hens and cocks and effective rearing of laying hens, care, and medical care of the animals. Poultry farming enables parents to secure the livelihood of their families.

As already known from SmartAid, the donor can choose between donating via PayPal or credit card. After the payment has been processed, the donor gets a QR code that serves as her personal donations code. With this code, she can track her donation’s whereabouts on the most secure basis there is, on the SmartAid blockchain.

From Traceable Donations App SmartAid to Open Donation Blockchain

Since donating makes even more fun when being joined by others, the donor can share her donation code to motivate her friends and fellows to join in and donate, too!

We will soon onboard more projects, and – maybe – we have a nice idea for the last 24 days before X‑mas, too! Stay tuned — and, in the meantime, join the SmartAid community and donate your change!

Why Donating Must Be Changed!

Time and again, potential donors wonder how difficult it still is, to donate to the right cause, and in an efficient and fun way. Often, you can’t donate using your mobile, or can’t even donate online. Then, you would donate to a certain general topic, rather than to a specific project. Last, but not least, as a donor, you can’t track and trace the path of your donation. Many potential donors are put off by clunky, complex, and intransparent donation processes. Given a huge amount of spare money many people in the rich parts of our world have available for being spent to a good cause, this is a wasted opportunity.

Enter SmartAid! 

Efficient, and easy-to-use, the blockchain-based web app does not only make donating fun but offers fervently desired transparency of the money flows: Right after having donated between 1 – 199 Euro, the donation will be stored on the SmartAid blockchain. The donor receives a tracking code to trace her donation until it reaches its destination. This so-called “traceable donation” is a world first.  Secure and immutable blockchain technology guarantees that all donations will reach the right beneficiary by making the flow of money transparent to the donor.

Security, Transparency, and Fun

Donating via SmartAid is not only secure, efficient, and transparent – it’s fun! A direct connection to a donor’s credit card or PayPal account allows for an easy process that even lets donors share their donations via Social Media, thus motivating others to share this experience and jointly support the charity project.

“For a long time, we at YOU Foundation have been looking for a way to enable individuals to donate to our charity projects all around the world. Therefore, we can’t wait to see SmartAid in action!”, says Ute-Henriette Ohoven, founder of YOU Foundation.

“Since 2015, we at Datarella have been working on Blockchain projects with our corporate partners, such as Bosch, Siemens, BMW, Merck, and international humanitarian organizations, such as the UN World Food Programme WFP, or UK Aid.  We are very happy to launch SmartAid, together with YOU Foundation, and we are highly curious how donors will perceive the new transparency of their donations”, adds Michael Reuter, CEO of Datarella.
