The blockchain payments company shared the contribution Aug. 28 on X, naming World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit that provides meals during humanitarian emergencies, and Mercy Corps, an organization that delivers humanitarian aid and supports disaster recovery, as the recipients.<\/p>\n<p>The company described the donation\u2019s intended purpose during the unfolding humanitarian response:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cRipple is donating $300,000 to World Central Kitchen and Mercy Corps to support emergency meal distribution and water and sanitation efforts on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Flooding has devastated communities along Nepal\u2019s Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river corridors. Critical infrastructure has been severely damaged. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercycorps.org\/donate\/nepal-flash-floods-help-families-recover\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mercy Corps is coordinating with local authorities and humanitarian partners<\/a> to assess immediate needs and support the emergency response.<\/p>\n<h2>Floods Devastate Communities Across Nepal and Tibet<\/h2>\n<p>An ice-rock avalanche from a Himalayan glacier is believed to have blocked a river before releasing a destructive surge downstream. The flooding swept through Nepal\u2019s Rasuwa, Nuwakot, and Dhading districts, destroying homes, roads, bridges, power systems, and communications infrastructure, and <a href=\"https:\/\/english.www.gov.cn\/news\/202608\/28\/content_WS6a91259dc6d00ca5f9a0cd54.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">struck the Gyirong border port in Tibet<\/a>. Rescue operations continued amid unstable terrain and secondary-disaster risks.<\/p>\n<p>At least 17,000 children were affected in Nepal, while 18 schools were destroyed and 20 sustained damage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/press-releases\/flash-floods-nepal-leave-more-17000-children-need-urgent-humanitarian-assistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UNICEF reported Aug. 27<\/a>. The agency sought $17.2 million for health, nutrition, water, sanitation, education, child protection, and early-recovery programs.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s donation targets two immediate needs identified across the affected areas. The company said World Central Kitchen and Mercy Corps will use the funding for emergency meal distribution and water and sanitation efforts.<\/p>\n<h2>Donation Extends Ripple\u2019s Humanitarian Partnerships<\/h2>\n<p>The contribution builds on Ripple\u2019s existing relationships with both humanitarian organizations. World Central Kitchen and Mercy Corps were among several nonprofits <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/from-crises-to-crypto-how-ripples-rlusd-is-speeding-up-emergency-funds\/\">piloting Ripple Payments and stablecoin Ripple USD (RLUSD)<\/a> to examine faster and more transparent methods of distributing emergency funds.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple previously worked with Mercy Corps Ventures on a drought-response project in Kenya. The <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/ripple-deploys-rlusd-in-kenya-as-blockchain-aid-faces-real-world-drought-test\/\">RLUSD-based pilot targeted 533 pastoralists<\/a> and used satellite data and smart contracts to trigger payments when vegetation conditions fell below a predetermined threshold.<\/p>\n<p>That initiative offered each eligible participant approximately $75 if drought conditions activated the payment mechanism. It demonstrated one way stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure could automate humanitarian assistance in areas with limited access to conventional financial services.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s broader payment infrastructure is connected with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/blockchain-tech\/layer-1s\/what-is-ripple-xrp-ledger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XRP Ledger<\/a>, a public blockchain built for rapid, low-cost transactions. The Nepal and Tibet contribution follows the company\u2019s earlier humanitarian partnerships while directing $300,000 toward organizations supporting emergency relief on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/featured\/ripple-donates-300k-to-support-nepal-and-tibet-flood-relief\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Ripple is donating a combined $300,000 to two relief organizations.
