Save the Children: how to donate through Young Platform

You can now donate to Save the Children through Young Platform. Here’s how to do it

The smallest unit of BTC is called a satoshi and it corresponds to one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin. It is a very tiny figure. To give you the idea, let’s write it down with all the zeros: 0.00000001. It is said that small things can change a life: smiling at strangers, eating pizza with friends, children. Maybe even a satoshi.

You can now use your crypto to send donations to Save the Children Italia Onlus via the Young Platform app.

This Christmas, save their future

This collaboration comes at a special time of year. On the occasion of Christmas, Save the Children Italia Onlus launched a campaign to collect donations for children in conflict zones, such as Syria or Yemen. We are happy to announce that Young Platform has been chosen as its official partner to make it easier for those wishing to make crypto donations.

Worldwide, 1 out of 6 children live in a war zone. With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, another 7.5 million children have been added to the tally. The funds raised through this initiative will be used to recover food supplies (a family needs 41€ for a fortnight), personal hygiene kits or school supplies (a package to educate eleven children is worth 275€). We at Young Platform are renewing the path taken in the field of charity, specifically those dedicated to children.

Why donate through crypto?

We know that cryptocurrencies are not physical coins, but they can still do a lot. Lately, their reputation has not been great. Chances are, you’ve heard on the news that crypto is a dangerous game. One played by kids who fiddle with their PCs and then scam thousands of people. Even if someone is using blockchain technology for these questionable purposes, there are also virtuous examples of how cryptos can be useful and have an impact on people’s lives.

When Ukraine was invaded in late February, for the first time in history, a nation publicly called for crypto donations when its banking system was beginning to collapse. Millions and millions of coins and tokens, including NFTs, arrived from all over the world to help people cornered by war. Cryptocurrency donations are borderless, they can be made anywhere and they go everywhere. Even to those without a bank account. Also in the case of Save the Children, crypto donations made with Young Platform will make an important project come true.

How do donations work?

You can make crypto donations to Save the Children Italy with a simple withdrawal. Here are all the steps you need to take.

Before you start, open this link to the NGO’s website and choose the crypto you want to donate from all those available. The wallet address will appear in the form of an alphanumeric code and as a QR code. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ethereum PoW, Cardano, Polygon, USDT, USDC and Tezos are available.

  1. Open the Young Platform app in the Wallet section;
  2. From the central button ⇆, select ‘Withdraw – send funds in euro and crypto’;
  3. Choose a cryptocurrency, select the amount and click ‘Continue’;
  4. Paste the Save the Children wallet address you copied from the link provided or scan the QR code. We advise you not to type in the address manually to avoid mistakes and remember to only select the address of the crypto you want to donate! To donate Bitcoin you need a Bitcoin address, for Ether you need an Ethereum address and so on.
  5. Confirm the withdrawal via the e-mail you will receive at your address.

If you want to view the status of your transaction on the blockchain, you can paste the TxID in the search bar of a blockchain explorer like Blockchair. The beauty of charity and crypto is that you can independently verify and track all your donations to Save the Children.
