Ripple’s RLUSD Revolutionizes Aid Delivery Through Major Nonprofit Partnerships
Ripple just flipped the script on traditional aid distribution—teaming with leading humanitarian organizations to deploy RLUSD stablecoin for lightning-fast relief operations.
Bypassing Banking Bottlenecks
The partnership cuts through conventional financial red tape, slashing transfer times from days to seconds. Nonprofits now move funds across borders without waiting for bank approvals or worrying about currency fluctuations.
Humanitarian Impact at Scale
RLUSD delivers immediate liquidity where it matters most—disaster zones, refugee camps, and poverty-stricken regions. No more watching donations gather dust in administrative accounts while people suffer.
Because apparently it took blockchain technology to accomplish what banks have promised for decades: actually moving money efficiently. The traditional finance world just got served notice—humanity can't wait for your legacy systems to catch up.
Ripple has taken a major step toward merging blockchain technology with humanitarian work. Ahead of its annual Swell conference, the company revealed that World Central Kitchen, Water.org, Mercy Corps, and GiveDirectly are now using Ripple Payments and its U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin RLUSD to accelerate global aid distribution.
As per the firm, the reason for this development is the removal of long wait times and excessive fees that were involved when sending money to crisis zones. Ripple Payments, an end-to-end system based on the blockchain network, enables the sending of money across the globe in seconds. This happens as the firm operates around the clock and does not involve banks in the process.

Together, we can slash settlement times from days to…
The company President Monica Long stated that the collaboration shows how blockchain can make a real-world impact by transforming aid delivery. The focus, she said, is on connecting technology with purpose to ensure faster, more transparent financial support for communities in need.
Humanitarian Partners Embrace Blockchain Efficiency
World Central Kitchen (WCK), which has distributed millions of meals to areas devastated by disaster since 2020, is further expanding its work with the company. Nonprofit WCK has even begun to implement the use of Ripple Payments and RLUSD in order to distribute funds directly to partners in areas that are either remote or unbanked.
Joshua Tripp, President of Innovation at WCK, said:
With Ripple, we’re testing new financial technologies to settle payments in hours instead of days, even in challenging environments, allowing us to serve more communities in their most vulnerable moments.
Water.org, founded by Gary WHITE and actor Matt Damon, has experienced success with the company technology as well. Now that they’ve concluded testing with the Ripple Payment solution in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru, they’re eyeing expansion in Africa and Asia.
The solution provides Water.org with the capability to efficiently distribute funds to microfinance institutions to facilitate affordable loans for clean water access.
RLUSD Strengthens Ripple’s Global Mission
The RLUSD stablecoin is the backbone of these efforts. Now with a market cap above $900 million in less than a year, it has proven to be very adoptable and scalable. Another project being conducted by the company is with Mercy Corps Ventures in Kenya, where they are piloting RLUSD to facilitate emergency cash transfers and parametric insurance for the unbanked.
