What Giovanni says about the CHERR.IO project?

I have joined the Cherr.io movement to make a difference, and Cherr.io is the aid-tech that can facilitate this. Being a top graduate during my post graduate years in development economics combined with my passion for blockchain technology and its various use-cases, Cherr.io stands out as a revolutionary way to remove corruption and misappropriated funds within the charity and donor fund market.

I am a South Africa citizen, having deep roots in Africa. Africa is plagued with political corruption, graft and looting from government institutions and nonprofit organizations. Poverty is rife and the basic needs of the average Africa are not met such as clean water, sanitation, food, medical attention, vaccinations, natural disasters and outbreaks of malaria and influenza (diseases from the 1920s still are prevalent) and education. Africa’s most vulnerable are women and children who live on $1 per day. The only way to alleviate part of the problem is making sure the donor funds and charitable contributions from many worldwide humanitarians and countries actually get to source and are not misappropriated by government or corrupt officials along the way.

The transparent and immutable nature of block chain ensures accountability and audibility from donation through to use of funds. Just type “Donor funds stolen in Africa” in Google Search and see the numerous and shocking articles that pop up.

I am making a difference by reaching out to African and Global Institutions, providing networks and advisory to create awareness around the Cherr.io eco-system and cause and how you, at home, can make a difference in the lives of many people below the poverty line, by contributing just $1. Imagine your $1 was traceable to that 1 person you gave a loaf of bread to or provided a tertiary education — we no longer need to imagine.

He will participate as an ICO strategic advisor and will help promote the brand into international markets, with a focus on African and Global institutions. He will also be deeply involved in our business development.

Stay tuned for more amazing news and as always, be cherished!
