Step 1
Source
A donor commits funds or in-kind aid through Amana. The pledge is recorded on-chain with amount, purpose, and destination context, creating an immutable anchor everyone can audit later.
Humanitarian aid
Restoring the Dignity of Aid.
Transparency isn’t just about data; it’s about making sure every human receives the promise made to them. AMANA uses blockchain to ensure humanitarian support reaches its destination without compromise.
The problem
Why change is overdue
Today’s systems often dilute intent before it becomes relief. The cost is paid by those already in crisis.
-
01
Many layers
Aid passes through multiple intermediaries. Along the way, visibility is lost and accountability thins out.
-
02
Manual processes
Paperwork, spreadsheets, and ad hoc updates introduce delays and mistakes that nobody can afford.
-
03
No shared truth
When donors, partners, and communities see different pictures, trust erodes and decisions get harder, not easier.
How we respond
How Amana solves the problem at hand
We connect intent to delivery with fewer hops, clearer data, and one place where everyone involved can see what is true.
- Shorter paths Design aid flows so resources move through fewer layers and reach people with less leakage.
- Reliable records Replace fragile manual handoffs with consistent digital trails that are easy to audit and hard to lose.
- Shared visibility Give donors, partners, and communities the same picture of commitments, movement, and delivery.
End-to-end flow
How Amana works
Four linked stages turn a donor’s intent into a verifiable outcome on the ground—with rules, not guesswork, between every handoff.
Step 2
Transit
As goods move toward approved warehouses, smart contracts check milestone proofs—scans, custody changes, and timestamps—before inventory or value is released to the next leg. Transit stays conditional and traceable.
Step 3
Verification
Trusted local NGOs confirm that stock matches expectations and that last-mile distribution plans are ready. Their attestations land on the same shared timeline so upstream partners see one readiness signal, not conflicting spreadsheets.
Step 4
Delivery
Beneficiaries confirm receipt with a lightweight QR check-in or SMS code. That acknowledgment is logged on-chain, closing the loop from original donor intent to a documented, person-level outcome.
Frequently asked questions
Amana is a platform for humanitarian aid that shortens the chain between donors and people in need. It uses shared digital records and, where it helps, on-chain proofs so intent, movement, and delivery stay visible to everyone who should see them—not buried in email threads or spreadsheets.
A public, append-only log gives donors and partners a neutral place to agree on what was committed, when goods moved, and when they were received—without any single party controlling the history. Smart contracts can enforce simple rules (for example, releasing the next step only after a verified scan) so handoffs stay consistent.
Donors and foundations who want traceability, NGOs and logistics partners who run warehouses and last-mile distribution, and field teams who need one timeline instead of conflicting reports. Beneficiaries interact through lightweight steps such as QR or SMS, not complex apps.
The chain can hold hashes, attestations, and minimal references instead of raw personal data. Sensitive details stay in systems you control, with access governed by your policies and local regulations. The goal is transparency for the aid flow, not public exposure of individuals.
