THE GLOBAL CHARITY SECTOR
IS FACING HUGE CHALLENGES…
Most organizations within the traditional charity sector continue to rely on outdated and inefficient models with many layers of administration and middle- men in order to allocate donated funds, utilizing as much as 80% of the donated funds. Often as little as 20% of available funding is going to the people and areas that need assistance the most.
- Existing €2 trillion annual charity sector is extremely expensive & inefficient
- Billions of Euro’s donated by individuals and Governments are wasted. Up to 80% of funds not used to create sustainable impact
- Money flow is not traceable and transparent
- Too much bureaucracy & middlemen involved
- Distrust – people don’t trust charity organizations anymore
THE 180 SOLUTION
It's time to disrupt the charity sector!
180 plans to transform the €2 trillion charity sector through the development of an unparalleled global peer-to-peer network, powered by blockchain, accessed through an app for donations and distribution of funds. This allows for efficiency & full transparency.
Up to 80% cost reduction by using innovative technology, taking out charities as middlemen and replace with instant cash-based, peer-to-peer assistance, without using banks.
180 positions itself as an innovative & global micro payment service provider, backed by an extremely experienced Last Mile project implementation team.

extremely cost effective
Up to 300,000 digital transfer payments for a TOTAL cost of less than 1 Euro, using the Stellar blockchain network. Transfer time 6 seconds only
Transfer of 180 Tokens
The received funding, will be converted into 180 tokens, which will be transferred , using Stellar blockchain, to the 180 app on the smartphone of the receiving beneficiary.
Proof of concept
Recently 180 conducted a field pilot in an extreme environment helping stranded Syrian refugees at the Jordanian Border. Martijn Hekman, founder of 180, and his team managed to successfully assist thousands of people with crucial relief, for a fraction of the normal cost. Using smart cards & fingerprint scanning, combined with a remotely based payment management application.
In the beginning of 2019 a successful 180 technology research study was finalized, proofing that direct payments can be done for extreme low cost, the moment a permission less blockchain is incorporated. The 180 app will be able to perform 400.000 peer-to peer transactions for less than one Euro and keep full traceability of all transactions.
The model works, and this is what excites me, keeps me awake and is driving me to launch 180.
