AusFire Payments
We know from on the ground intel that payments are not getting through to affected families
One of the most important things in crisis response is getting the resources to people that need it, fast. We've seen donation centres overflow with goods to the point that further donations have been asked to stop.
Cash payments to affected families + communities is what can make a very real difference when they've lost everything.
Think you can innovate in this space? In the aftermath of the 2019/2020 Australian fires, plenty of families + volunteers have been affected. How can they be better supported with interim options to offset the time-lag in agency response times?

Would it be possible to bypass all this heartless red tape charity palaver by developing an app that can direct deposit donations into the accounts of verifiable victims?
