HesabPay delivers humanitarian aid to Afghan recipients via the Algorand blockchain

Covered by 2 sources

Summarized by AI

HesabPay, built on the Algorand blockchain, has helped the UNHCR distribute over $35 million in humanitarian assistance to more than 640,000 people in Afghanistan over a one-year period. The platform uses blockchain technology to make each donation transparent and traceable from source to recipient.

The Algorand Foundation's later summary gives a slightly different count: $34 million distributed to more than 136,000 Afghan families. The two figures likely reflect different counting methods (individuals versus family units), but neither source explains the reconciliation.
