The world of NFTs has been making waves in recent times and has opened up new avenues for artists and creators to monetize their work. But what if NFTs could be used for more than just digital art and collectibles? That’s exactly what Havuta and FLO are doing — using NFTs to create real-world impact and help preserve nature and improve livelihoods for communities in rural Cambodia.

Havuta is a data collection & analysis technology provider for the development sector and the first company to create Impact NFTs.

The Forests And Livelihood Organization (FLO) is a non-profit local organization established in Kratie Province in Cambodia. FLO was established by a group of local people with strong experience in community engagement and forest, wildlife, fisheries, and land management. FLO’s mission is to assist local communities and indigenous people in advocating for, and attaining their legal rights and tenures over their natural resources, and practicing sustainable management methods to secure their livelihoods.

NFTs For Good

Havuta and FLO have partnered to offer Impact NFTs that will help fund FLO’s important work in Kratie Province. This is a unique project — Impact NFTs in support of rural communities in Cambodia. These Impact NFTs are one-of-a-kind digital tokens that are linked to specific, real-world projects aimed at improving the lives of people living in rural areas.

In an innovative real-world application of NFTs, Havuta’s Impact NFT collections on OpenSea are deploying the technology to pre-fund the important work that mission- and impact-driven organizations are doing around the world.

The impact is performed by our partner organizations, while Havuta provides the verification of that impact–all backed by the veracity of blockchain records.

In this way, Havuta and FLO are using NFTs to connect buyers with real-world projects that will have a tangible impact on people’s lives. The NFTs act as a form of digital proof that the project has been funded and is underway, and buyers can follow its progress through regular updates from the organizations.

We implore individuals who want to make a difference and companies needing to meet the “Social” component of their ESG mandates to invest in local organizations through our Impact NFTs, knowing that the impact will be measured through appropriate data collection methods and recorded on the blockchain.

Help us in this journey to make the world a better place for all.
