so if I never cross the Red Cross
together we'd have this process of
thinking about how to allow that cross
to be more proactive as opposed to
reactive and so when we think about the
type of projects that we work on they're
very much looking at where the worlds in
the community years and what kind of
funding gaps there are so if we look at
today for humanitarian assistance about
thirty eight billion dollar years how
much money goes towards humanitarian
assistance but it's still a thirty
billion dollar gap so I we narrow that
when we do it was thinking about
allocation and you also think about new
ways to kind of activate different pools
of power and so in that regard we
currently have a couple projects some of
the birthday but a little deeper project
that was announced and so we're looking
at with blockchain perspective we also
look at detachments potassium bonds are
essentially an insurance product or we
go out and raise thirty million dollars
from the private sector and I'm just
looking at the clock right now at this
time and what 35 here it'll blow up okay
the whole session oh so I will stop
talking in ten seconds so we have
insurance products we just basically
insurance the atashi bond where we're
sharing volcanoes we're also working on
community currencies there's some of you
may have heard earlier that you will be
hearing about later
community currencies essentially allows
vulnerable communities around the world
to create their own
cryptocurrency and we fund that through
our billion dollar and caps transfers
and that essentially allows individuals
to trade amongst themselves and then
with other communities to sort of spur
growth resiliency viability
currently the project is worth
grassroots genomics in and Nick who's
here will talk a little bit loose info
about 6000 people on this on the POE of
sidechain I think about sending
thousands actions and I think about 20
different currencies so marinate hi
everyone my name is saundra and the
pacific cash in light women's league for
Oxfam Oxfam is a global NGO a nonprofit
at present in over 90 countries we have
several use-cases active across the
organization and I am in charge of the
work that focuses
to leverage the capacities and
blockchain technology to assist people
in disaster preparedness and response so
I guess I'm going to focus more on
message than what we're actually doing
and you can hear about that right after
this it'll just stick around for us the
message is really that one of Oxfam's
key missions is to act as a broker and a
convener connecting local to global we
work across dozens of civil society
organizations just in vallata where they
globally that turns into tens of
thousands of community-based
organizations and civil society actors
so in that way working more community
facing but what that also means is that
we have the capacity to collaborate and
connect to field environments where love
chain is still something that is unknown
and working we're still very much
disconnected which is the organization
that was working on this particular box
here they resisted broke the order to
stay so Simo really focuses on financial
inclusion for other nations around the
world and this is a really fascinating
aspect of the watching space because
it's sort of one of those narratives
raining inside this big white rectangle
it was talking to us to equalize that
system of masses yet somehow when we are
in his afterwards and the reality is is
that we have really seen a lot this
materialized the reality is is that
Bitcoin deeply you just read is to be
wealth but it didn't really used to be
love the way you wanted it to we're
gonna want a very rich people and
they're not equal necessarily on the
first ones
one of those here is that like a lot of
organizations focusing on objects best
don't really focus all the means and it
results it's very easy to get trapped in
a bubble of the Western world as long as
we have here so that's what separate
focuses on we actually developed a lot
of our current or my work
more later but one of the interesting
experiences we've had over there if we
made it over to let what we work with
refugees we worked out that actually
what we were building was virtually
never really through your typing out
which totally sucks is better for it
Ilana one of these things are people who
get a sort of big wind-up what is that
bitcoin really to stop work from unions
at all the second something is a good
store of value a kind of ceases to be
good that would be some transaction and
what we've seen is entirely flat space
the wall across the point without them
less people wanted to train there
because it was something to look forward
and so I think this is kind of basis the
conclusion that who actually really want
to create like wouldn't back for
communities we need something that isn't
a great affordable currency and this is
great quote by I actually read yourself
which I love which is that a good medium
of transfer needs to rush rotten luck
paper rustling by and the Vepr I like
Eva and even the size of birds that
start like the eighteen hundreds so it's
pretty recent and so what we work on
this is context between currencies and
stuff we're doing in country is really
working out how to transform workforce
of reserve
like bit point into different forms of
currency that are actually useful means
to do rather than just grab credit
pulling away
I think so as part of the Democrats
dollars program I think there's a
recognition that there's a massive
disconnect between people living in the
rest of the world and people who have
access to conferences like this so we're
really in the business together of
bridging and struggling that disconnect
but also making a concerted effort to
break those hierarchies so if you're
interested in learning about how that's
actually done then you should stick
around
Thanks customer Etsy is too much more
but just to read up the size the
interdisciplinary nature of what we do
and the importance of understanding and
clearly communicating why why ball
chains are an interesting tool for
formation by what they mean for our
groups of people at the society and both
controlling and governing and
and data and value we will watch it
enough to have some really incredible
people in Trivium got beers their
thoughts but just shout out to Sonoma
said Bob she's out the back MIT
University of Copenhagen KDM you just
work at the main stage design
and extend again that invitations with
broader community around bringing what
you have in your knowledge and expertise
and coming humbly to to learn from
people that I may be a little bit closer
to liberal communities already doing
things of scale or most people that
would only sell sensitive little
communities themselves to really reach
you out of all of this watching for
social benefit idea and they were better
solutions that are more meaningful and
helpful and enable that choice which is
why the other side so thank you so much
that next presentation to propel
themselves and thank you for your
attention
feel free to approach anyone that you've
seen or ask any questions
I chicken to you I also encourage you to
turn your attention to orderly growth
which was just announced
effort to respond to Libra and
collaborate around baseless Libra
mentions of in terms of booting and
network which creates governance well
people have actually once I would just
play the decisions that I made so that's
something else really interesting that
backspace so thanks again and please
[Applause]
