With Rahat, humanitarian organizations can set up projects, distribute funds, and ensure secure tracking of financial flows.\n\nCertified as a **Digital Public Good**, Rahat is committed to promoting financial inclusion across marginalized communities. To date, we've positively impacted over **80,000 vulnerable beneficiaries** and provided essential digital and financial literacy support to over **8,000 individuals**.\n\n## Our Mission\n\nRahat leverages mobile phones and blockchain technology to meet critical financial needs, particularly in regions where access to financial services is limited. Rahat focuses on three key pillars:\n\n### 1. Financial Response and Recovery\nRahat ensures efficient and transparent access to humanitarian aid, with both **Cash and Voucher Assistance and Anticipatory Action**. By using blockchain-based tokens, agencies can send cash, food, and service vouchers directly to beneficiaries’ phones. Smart contracts automate the delivery of vouchers and early warning messages (via voice and text) triggered by specific parameters, enabling proactive interventions before disasters strike.\n\n### 2. Financial and Digital Literacy\nWe conduct tailored awareness campaigns and training programs to empower local communities with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions. Our efforts narrow the gap in access to opportunities and foster economic empowerment.\n\n### 3. Financial Resilience\nBeyond seasonal aid, Rahat works to break generational poverty by offering microinsurance for smallholder farmers, ensuring instant payouts triggered by predefined climate risk triggers. This is made possible by smart contracts that streamline aid delivery, even for unbanked beneficiaries who can use their feature phones as digital wallets for easy cashouts.\n\n## Why Rahat?\n\nRahat offers accessible, scalable, and trustworthy financial solutions. Its modular design allows for easy adaptation to diverse community needs. Through third-party API integrations, Rahat seamlessly interfaces with other systems, enhancing functionality and customization. Blockchain technology ensures transparent, secure transactions, fostering trust and accountability. Rahat's geographic scalability makes it easy to expand to new regions, while its low-tech options ensure accessibility for vulnerable populations.\n\nBy promoting inclusivity and leveraging technology, Rahat is enabling financial empowerment and building resilience in communities that need it most.\n\n**Learn more at:**  \n[rahat.io](https://rahat.io)\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectGithub": "rahataid", "projectTwitter": "rahataid"}
