Tech solutions like cryptocurrencies, Airbnb, and other methods are being used to send money directly to those affected by the war in Ukraine.
Mobile phone users are donating to Ukraine via new technologies and changing the way international aid is distributed.
Removing the middleman In the first days of the war, thousands of people booked Airbnb rooms in Ukraine even though they had no intention of staying in the country. The idea was that the hosts in Ukraine would benefit directly from the money. More recently, Airbnb has set up a system where users can offer to host refugees.
Apple is among the companies that have made it simpler to support the citizens of Ukraine. A banner at the top of Apple’s website has a donation button that directs you to the Music or iTunes app. Donations go through your Apple ID, and you’ll use whichever payment method is attached to your account.
On February 26, Twitter accounts belonging to the Ukrainian government posted requests for crypto-asset donations. So far, the Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Polkadot, Dogecoin, and Solana addresses listed in the tweets have received donations worth $54.4 million.
