🚀 Building the Rails for Real Impact: Project Aftab is Touching Down in the USA For years, geopolitical discussions have focused heavily on "maximum pressure". But while political frameworks shift, everyday families in high-friction corridors bear the brunt. The question for impact investors, technologists, and strategic partners has always been the same: How do we safely and transparently improve economic well-being where it matters most? The answer is finally here. Watch the video below to see the vision behind Project Aftab—and find out how you can join us at our exclusive launch events in Los Angeles and New York City this June. 👇 💡 What is Project Aftab? Project Aftab is a groundbreaking, fully regulated digital platform built to safely route micro-donations into high-friction corridors, starting with our brothers and sisters in Iran. We have engineered a secure, transparent payment rail that guarantees aid directly reaches its intended destination. The Problem We Solved: Traditional shadow networks (Hawalas) are slow, expensive, and completely opaque. The Technology: Our app completely bypasses these legacy networks, offering a cheaper, faster, and fully tax-deductible humanitarian aid corridor. Absolute Compliance: Built with institutional-grade compliance at its core, our fully regulated platform ensures that 0% of transferred funds can ever be diverted. 🤝 Partner With Us: Exclusive US Launch Events We are officially unveiling this technology to an exclusive group of founders, venture philanthropists, web3 innovators, and community leaders. If you want to invest in a scalable infrastructure that turns shared hope into measurable, compliant reality, we invite you to join the founding team live. 📍 LOS ANGELES (Sherman Oaks) Date: Monday, June 15, 2026 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM: Official Announcement Event 6:00 PM: Exclusive Live Watch Party (Iran vs. New Zealand soccer match) 👉 Private community gathering.

DM us directly to request an invitation and secure venue details. 📍 NEW YORK CITY (Midtown Manhattan) Date: Thursday, June 18, 2026 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM: "Heritage & Hope" Announcement Event 👉 Secure your seat immediately: (Registration link in the first comment below! 👇) "Project Aftab is a sign that new paths can still be built.

This week, we joined @RwandaICT, @BRDbank, @RISARwanda, and the @WorldBankGroup for a field visit to two ventures helping shape Rwanda’s digital future: @savedirectlyltd and @usekayko. Both companies have received support through the Hanga Ventures Ignite Fund under RDAP. The visit was also particularly meaningful for us as both ventures are part of the #develoPPPVentures Rwanda portfolio, where Impact Hub Kigali supports programme implementation in #Rwanda and works alongside founders through technical assistance, investment readiness support, and strategic guidance. From helping more than 15,000 merchants digitize their financial records to advancing financial inclusion for informal workers, these companies are demonstrating how catalytic capital, combined with hands-on support, can accelerate growth and unlock additional investment. Rwanda’s digital economy is no longer a future ambition, it is already being built. #EconomicGrowth #FintechForGood #HangaVentures #DigitalRwanda

In at least 10 African countries, fewer than 40% of adults have access to formal financial services. Through the Hanga Ventures Ignite programme, the Ministry had the opportunity to visit innovative Rwandan startups that are helping reshape the country’s financial landscape. @usekayko is empowering small businesses by improving access to finance while simplifying bookkeeping, inventory management, and expense tracking—bringing more entrepreneurs into the digital economy. Meanwhile, @savedirectlyltd is tackling the common “I don’t have money” challenge through its innovative “Save Now, Buy Later” platform, enabling users to build savings habits and achieve their financial goals more effectively. Through the collective efforts of government institutions, development partners, and ecosystem stakeholders, these innovations are creating more inclusive pathways to financial empowerment and economic growth for Rwandans. #EconomicGrowth #FintechForGood #HangaVentures #DigitalRwanda @RISARwanda @BRDbank @Radiant_rw @WorldBankGroup @ImpactHubKigali

Over 20 million savings groups exist worldwide. Fewer than 200,000 are digitized. That’s about 1% online, leaving an estimated 19.8 million groups without the protection and transparency digital tools like DreamSave provide. The tech exists. Adoption is the real challenge. At DreamStart Labs, DreamSave is built for how communities actually save - simple, secure, and easy to use.

Access is power. At Nearpays, we believe empowering women with smarter payment solutions is a step toward real financial independence. This International Women’s Day, we’re spotlighting what happens when women are given the right financial tools. 💬 Tag a woman who inspires you in the comments. #IWD2026 #GiveHerAccess #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInBusiness #WomenWhoLead #FintechForGood

🌟 At the event, the conversation on women’s participation in digital finance was brought to life through real solutions from fintechs working on the ground. Two @FitspaUG members, @4gCapital and @FidoUganda, shared how their work is expanding access to finance for women entrepreneurs. Representing @4gCapital, Pius Tweheyo, Legal Manager, highlighted how the organisation supports women beyond credit by providing training, financial literacy, and tailored products that help small-scale businesses grow. @FidoUganda represented by @MwizaSophy, shared that over 30% of their borrowers are women, many operating businesses in hubs such as Nakawa, Kalerwe, and Nakasero. Through market activations and financial literacy sessions, @FidoUganda is helping female vendors access digital credit to stock their stalls, pay school fees, and expand their businesses. Notably, 23.7% of @FidoUganda’s female vendors have taken more than five loans, demonstrating how responsible digital credit can support sustained business growth. These stories show the power of fintech solutions designed with women in mind-unlocking opportunity and strengthening local economies. #DigitalInclusion #WomenInFinance #FinancialInclusion #FintechUganda #WomenEntrepreneurs #FintechForGood #FinancialLiteracy #EconomicEmpowerment

PhonePe collaborates with Pimpri Chinchwad & Pune Cyber Police to optimize Digital Fraud Investigations in the region. We recently concluded a specialized Cybercrime Training Workshop for Pimpri Chinchwad and Pune Cyber Crime Police, aimed at strengthening investigative capabilities and accelerating response to digital fraud cases. The training was conducted with the support of senior officers including CP Vinaykumar Chobey (IPS), DCP Shivaji Pawar, ACP Vishal Hire, along with Inspector Pravin Swami, PSI Vaibhav Patil, and Senior Police Inspector Swapnali Shinde, among other officials. Speaking of the collaboration, Satyajeet Kumar, Head of Trust & Safety, PhonePe, said, “Our priority remains clear: ensuring every transaction is as secure as it is seamless. Through initiatives like PhonePe Protect and close collaboration with law enforcement agencies, we are building a strong digital safety ecosystem - combining real-time AI-driven alerts with user awareness to help people stay ahead of evolving threats and transact with confidence.” #PhonePe #DigitalSafety #CyberSecurity #FintechForGood #TrustAndSafety #CyberCrimePrevention

🌍 Since 2020, we’ve awarded $21M to 240 projects across 40 countries. But this is bigger than funding. It’s about shaping the policies and digital infrastructure that make financial inclusion possible — from cross-border payments to resilient local economies. Through advocacy and open technology, we’re helping build financial systems that work for everyone. If you’re influencing regulation, digital public infrastructure, or global development, explore how policy can accelerate inclusion: interledger.org/policy-and-a… #Interledger #SDGs #DigitalInclusion #PolicyInnovation #FintechForGood
