In rural Haiti, Mercy Corps Ventures is piloting stablecoin-based cash transfers to help vulnerable women access humanitarian aid more safely, efficiently, and transparently through digital wallets.

Mercy Corps Ventures, in partnership with Aleo, Humanity Link, and the Danish Refugee Council, is launching a first-of-its-kind pilot in Colombia using privacy-preserving stablecoin payments to deliver humanitarian cash assistance. By combining stablecoins with zero-knowledge proofs, the initiative aims to protect beneficiary data while improving the safety, efficiency, and accessibility of aid for displaced communities.

Selected from 230+ applications in 50+ countries, OPAL for Floods will pilot in Senegal, using AI, satellite imagery, and smart contracts to help Thiès and Grand Dakar act before floods.

In Afghanistan, Mercy Corps Ventures partnered with HesabPay and the Community Driven Development Organization to pilot stablecoin-based digital cash transfers reaching rural households in remote areas. The initiative aims to make aid faster, safer, and more transparent while empowering local organizations to deliver scalable, locally led humanitarian assistance.

In partnership with HesabPay and Pioneers Innovation, this pilot will use stablecoins to deliver faster, safer aid to farmers and agribusinesses in Northeast Syria reducing costs, improving transparency, and strengthening local food systems.
