Blockchain-based crowdfunding for Empowering Vulnerable Communities and Individuals
Vulfund is a blockchain-powered platform designed to facilitate transparent and impactful crowdfunding for underprivileged communities across Africa. By leveraging Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) and blockchain technology, Vulfund ensures transparency, security, and global reach in charitable donations.
In Africa, less privileged communities such as motherless baby homes, orphanages, senior citizen homes, homes for disabled or special needs people, and other underprivileged communities struggle to access essential resources such as food, healthcare, education, and skill development. The traditional fundraising methods for this social causes in Africa often lack transparency and control over how funds are used as a result of the centralized donation systems that faces issues of trust and efficiency, suffer from high administrative fees, and face challenges in reaching a global audience.
