We are very pleased that ShelterBox has been accepting Bitcoin Lightning donations for over a year now, with the support of BITCOIN4GOOD and the technical infrastructure provided by @OPAGO_PAY.

ShelterBox plans to not only use Bitcoin as a donation option but also to integrate it into its work in the long term, for example in cash assistance programs. This would make it possible to offer people affected in disaster areas the option to receive Bitcoin in addition to financial support in the local currency, allowing them to use it according to their individual needs.

Founded in 2000 in the UK, this international relief organization provides emergency shelter and essential supplies to people who have lost their homes due to natural disasters or conflicts. It delivers sturdy tents, tools, water filters, and other vital items in its signature green box or as ShelterKits. The organization has been active worldwide, including in Haiti, Syria, and Ukraine.

By the way, it’s possible to donate sats directly on the ShelterBox website. https://www.shelterbox.de/bitcoin-spenden/
