Venezuelan NGO Helps Feed Children with Dash
The Venezuelan NGO, Fundación Sin Tabú, collected Dash donations and used those donations to feed deprived Venezuelan children not in school located in the Libertador municipality of the country’s capital, Caracas.
The non-profit will open a soup-kitchen in the preschool spaces of the Don Bosco school and will serve “at least one meal with the quality and nutrients that children need” to out-of-school children in the area. The initiative was part of the Alimenta Un Sueño program, which was a collaboration of many organizations, including the Alimenta Venezuela foundation. The program estimates that it will benefit 50 school-aged children, which will help greatly since the organization estimated that the number of malnourished children in the capital increased from 54% to 68% over just four months in 2017.
The NGO raised its current Dash funds when it started to participate in the Dash Venezuela conferences at the end of last year and began raising funds during the Dash City events hosted at the conferences. One NGO representative said “The donations that we receive in each Dash City space are destined to a project”. In their previous iteration of the event, they raise the equivalent of around $60 USD, which can vary from 2.9 million Bolivars at the official rate to 27 million Bolivars at the black market rate. For a frame of reference, a carton of eggs can cost a little under 10,000 Bolivars and a standard basket of groceries can cost over 700,000 Bolivars. Fundación Sin Tabú are contentiously seeking donations and even feature a Dash address and QR code on their website.
