An Irish medical assistance project registered on the blockchain saw a world premiere this week – a child.
Initially, a project funded to address disputes in the charitable sector regarding the fair distribution of donations and a joint effort between Irish AID: Tech and Dutch PharmAccess, the collaboration is celebrating the success of a project to help women in Tanzania, resulting in the birth of 3 children so far.
In order to track aid and support for vulnerable women, the founders tried to use blockchain technology to facilitate aid delivery and data sharing, with the common goal of implementing support as efficiently as possible.
Because AID: Tech was founded
Joseph Thompson is CEO and co-founder of AID: Tech, has co-founded the organization in an attempt to provide greater transparency in the distribution of aid. He was born after his experience with charity fraud and disorganization.
In 2009 Joseph managed the Marathon des Sables, renowned as one of the most difficult races in the world that takes place in the Sahara desert, and has raised a commendable $ 122,000 in doing so.
Some time later he asked his chosen charity organization for an update on how the funds were spent. But only charity returned to him and confessed that instead of spending it in their intent, they had lost his donation.
Determined to change sectors, Joseph (who holds a Masters in Digital Currencies and is a member of the Irish Bitcoin Foundation) has collaborated with Niall Dennehy, already successful in the field of technology and design space, to co-found AID : Tech.
The vision of organizations is to provide people with a legally recognized digital identity, allowing aid to be received directly from the designated beneficiary.
Successful and innovative work
HELP: Tech made the world's first international supply of aid using blockchain technology in December 2015. The first delivery was made to Syrian refugees in Lebanon.
But fraud has never been so far away, shortly after the launch of the program, the system has detected an attempt to defraud legitimate recipients of food stamps. This automatically made incorrectly purchased vouchers invalid.
Private investments and grants
The idea of a charitable and transparent industry has grown rapidly, attracting the interest of private investors such as Techstars, Enterprise Ireland and SGInnovate, as well as the American supporter Jason Calacanis.
The project also attracted the attention of Rockefeller and Expo2020, a universal exhibition hosted in Dubai in October 2020, both of which awarded AID: financing of the Tech grant.
In fact, the United Nations recently named them as one of their ten global pioneers for sustainable development for 2017. & nbsp;But it is the collaboration with the Dutch NGO PharmAccess and the birth of the resulting children who will put the company on the map.
A focus on prenatal care
The ability to detect fraud is of great value to help both suppliers and donors. That's why in Tanzania AID: Tech is working with PharmAccess to identify pregnant women and provide them with the care they are entitled to.
The project provides every pregnant woman with a digital ID that entitles them to pregnancy vitamins such as folic acid and keeps track of women's progress through data added to the blockchain. From registration to a medical appointment until birth. And speaking of the birth, on July 13, 2018 the first child was born to be born on the blockchain, followed shortly by the second and third child on July 19, 2018.
The system is now the driving force behind their mothers who have access to post-natal care, medications and follow-up appointments as required.
Space for progress
As the project grows and meets its first challenges, its founders are looking for ways to ensure that technology can keep up with demand.
The blockchain is a relatively young technology, and its scalability has not yet been tested in this way, after all the children have not considered the whitepaper Satoshi, but the traceability factor works well. AID: the blockchain platform of Tech effectively allows the traceability of any rights documented on the blockchain in a safe and efficient way.
There have been challenges along the way, however, with attempt to fraud only one element. However, the individual nature of the digital ID allows providers to check the ID holder's information, including a photograph, before giving them help.
From the welfare distribution in Tanzania to the homeless in Ireland, these successful pilots have led to a rapid progression for AID: Tech. Thanks to investments and collaboration, AID: Tech is transforming charitable distributions, one node at a time.
