Ubuntu Pathways, founded 20 years ago, is a world-class institution. They’ve been recognised by Archbishop Desmond Tutu (1984 Nobel Peace Prize) and former President Bill Clinton, among other international personalities.
Electroneum is a constant game-changer. They have one of the biggest user-bases among the top cryptocurrencies, which is the greenest and one of the most secure in existence. It’s also the first crypto to become fully AML/KYC compliant, and the first to launch an affordable smartphone.
Ubuntu Pathways and Electroneum have embarked on an incredible journey to deliver nurturing assistance to more children as well as many other people who require assistance and more NGOs will surely follow.
