We bring you stories of people working on making the lives better of those affected by humanitarian crises and natural disasters. Images and stories of disasters and humanitarian crises are depressing, and they often leave us with a discomforting sense of helplessness. The personal stories that you will hear here will make you view disasters and crises from a lens of solutions. I hope you find inspiration and build your resilience from these stories. Happy Listening!

He has leveraged cryptocurrency for humanitarian efforts. In this episode we speak to Rya about refugee integration, how the RIO Corporation has been using cryptocurrency to support various humanitarian programs and most importantly we want to learn how does this new kind of “cash” work.
