🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A transparency platform that audits and tracks aid distribution from donor to recipient using blockchain or third-party verification.
  2. A curated directory of NGOs that publish detailed, independent financial audits specifically addressing anti-diversion protocols.
  3. A policy initiative requiring international aid organizations to adopt standardized, public-facing financial transparency reporting for conflict zones.
