A Revolution in Daily Giving
SHELTR redefines charitable giving by leveraging advanced technology to create a secure, intelligent, and scalable platform that directly supports homeless individuals. With transparency and accountability at its foundation, SHELTR transforms donations into meaningful actions using blockchain, AI, and financial empowerment tools.
How It Works
1. QR Code-Driven Donations
Donors scan a unique QR code linked to a participant. Each QR code is specific to a homeless individual and connected to a digital wallet that effectively manages the funds. Donations are processed instantly using various payment options, such as Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, or cryptocurrency wallets.
2. Blockchain Transparency & Smart Contracts
Every donation activates a blockchain smart contract that ensures transparent and precise fund allocation. The donated money is divided into three components:
- 10% to Rent Fund: Set aside to help the participant save for stable housing, providing a pathway out of homelessness.
- 80% to Participant Wallet: Available as digital tokens that can be used for essential goods and services at SHELTR-partnered locations like the Homeless Depot.
- 10% to Operational Costs: Supports the sustainability and growth of the SHELTR platform.
All transactions are recorded on a public blockchain ledger, ensuring complete transparency and accountability for donors, participants, and partner organizations.
3. Participant Empowerment
Digital Wallets give homeless participants direct access to donations in the form of tokens, which can be used for necessities such as food, clothing, and hygiene products. A portion of donations (10%) is allocated to a Rent Fund that accumulates over time, helping participants save for stable housing.
AI-driven financial guidance assists participants in making the best use of their donations, promoting financial literacy and empowering them to work towards independence.
