More than 625,000 refugee returnees and 17,500 internally displaced people in Afghanistan have received aid from Refugees through reloadable cards on Hesab Pay, the payments platform powered by Algorand, reaching people in areas where traditional banking infrastructure is limited or unavailable. $35M in assistance has been securely delivered since the Humanitarian Payments Council convened in Berlin in September 2025.

In Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, families who live in ‘gers’ (Mongolian yurts central to the nomadic way of life) wake throughout the night in winter to feed their stoves coal: at 01.00, 03.00, and again before dawn, just to survive freezing temperatures. The very fuel that keeps them warm also makes the city one of the most polluted capitals in the world, with each household on average responsible for 12 to 13 tonnes of carbon emissions. URECA is a climate tech startup whose pilot Coal-to-Solar Initiative project pairs technology with carbon finance to direct capital into scalable, high-impact climate solutions while supporting low-income households to transition to clean energy and tackling severe air pollution. They propose a new technology designed to restore trust and credibility in climate finance, making it more accessible to communities. With help from the EBRD’s Star Venture programme, URECA is now better positioned to scale its climate solution.
