WONDER Foundation and Electroneum, helping empower girls and women with cryptocurrency

The internationally renowned NGO is working with Electroneum and with the block rewards they receive, they aim to help 100 women in Kamalini.

Sarah is from the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a prolonged period of political upheaval has left millions of people dead through violence, starvation, and disease. Millions more were displaced to neighbouring countries. As a result, the African country is currently the second poorest in the world.

For Sarah, life was particularly challenging as she lost her father at a very young age and later her mother, leaving her to care for herself and her younger siblings, and diminishing her hopes for a better future.

“It was not easy,” Sarah says, but yet she managed to get herself into nursing, but then, “in my second year into my career, I had one of the most painful experiences of my life: My mother — best friend — died. I was distraught, and I thought I would have to drop out of school.”

However, one day she got a call from her nursing school. They offered her a full scholarship through WONDER Foundation, an NGO that has worked with Electroneum since July 2019.
