The United States World Food Programme (WFP USA) is pioneering a new approach to funding hunger relief by accepting cryptocurrency donations, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin. This innovative initiative aims to bridge funding gaps and address global food insecurity as it launches its $25 million Emergency Hunger Relief Fund to support 58 million people facing hunger worldwide. The decision comes after severe funding cuts during the Trump administration, which halted US financial support for emergency food aid in several countries including Afghanistan, Syria, and Yemen. WFP officials warn these cuts pose a significant threat as they could exacerbate existing hunger problems. A Modern Approach to Humanitarian Aid: The move reflects the growing trend of incorporating blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies into humanitarian efforts. This new approach offers increased efficiency and transparency due to lower transaction fees associated with crypto payments. WFP USA emphasizes this is not just an innovative solution, but a necessity in response to traditional aid systems’ challenges.
