Potential refugee impact

The program will improve access to medical services that are often not available to refugees, internally displaced persons, or those in war zones. They are also using blockchain to provide forcibly displaced people access a unique digital I.D which can be based on their United Nations registered identification. Such an identification will facilitate access to a variety of financial, educational, and legal services.
