For over 60 years, CCFD-Terre Solidaire has been acting alongside those who fight daily against all the causes of hunger and who face the injustices of the current development model. Today, the NGO takes a new step by opening its donation collection to cryptocurrencies. This initiative, led in partnership with Vadato, a specialist in association tools, and Coinhouse, a leader in crypto-asset services in France, aligns with the fundamental values of Web3: transparency, inclusion, and equity.
Why cryptocurrencies? Why now?
Climate disruptions, inequalities leading to excessive concentration of wealth, as well as other challenges in today’s world, require tools that go beyond conventions. Cryptocurrencies have a unique potential to mobilize new communities, particularly those attracted by the radical transparency of blockchain and the ideals of a more equitable economy. With this project, CCFD-Terre Solidaire opens itself to Web3 actors to collectively build solutions that address current and future economic and social challenges.
A pioneer of financial and social revolutions, CCFD-Terre Solidaire is innovating again by becoming one of the first French NGOs to offer a cryptocurrency collection solution compliant with regulations. One step closer to solidarity rooted in the future.
Marie-Hélène Vouilloux, Innovation Officer at CCFD-Terre Solidaire
A mission driven by universal values
Since its creation in 1961, CCFD-Terre Solidaire has never shied away from challenges. The NGO operates on the ground, hand in hand with over 400 partner organizations in 60 countries. Its approach? Support projects led by the populations themselves, for sustainable solutions adapted to each context.
Four battles for a fairer world
A central pillar of its commitment, food sovereignty relies on peasant and solidarity agroecology, which preserves natural resources and strengthens short circuits. The NGO supports peasant communities, responsible for 80% of global food production, but among the most affected by hunger. Convinced that migration is a wealth and that peace relies on justice and dialogue, CCFD-Terre Solidaire acts for inclusive and solidarity-based societies. Finally, the organization places economic justice at the heart of its fight against the impunity of multinationals and promotes an economic system that respects human rights. CCFD-Terre Solidaire advocates for fair international taxation, the cancellation of unsustainable debts of southern countries, and a global governance that holds large companies accountable. A pioneer of solidarity savings in France, CCFD-Terre Solidaire has been implementing solidarity financial investment products for the common good for 40 years: Common Investment Funds, savings accounts, micro-donations…
When Web3 meets the values of solidarity
Web3 is not just about technology: it is a vision. A vision where transparency, fairness, and individual autonomy, through decentralization, redefine the rules of the game. CCFD-Terre Solidaire has shared these ideals since its inception and resonates them with its own battles.
By choosing to accept cryptocurrencies, the NGO does not impose a change, but proposes a bridge. It invites the crypto community to actively participate in concrete projects, which bear sustainable transformation for the most vulnerable. You are invited to show that the virtual and immaterial value of crypto-assets can translate into concrete results and a force for change.
Vadato and Coinhouse: partners serving a global cause
To meet this challenge, CCFD-Terre Solidaire has surrounded itself with two essential players:
- Vadato, which has developed a custom technical solution, allowing the integration of a cryptocurrency collection, and supports multiple other aspects of philanthropic activities thanks to its tools and techniques;
- Coinhouse, recognized for its expertise and its registration with the AMF, which guarantees the security and compliance of transactions.
Our mission is simple: to make donations accessible and secure for all. Whether you are a regular donor or an active member of the Web3 community, our technology is here to facilitate engagement.
Damien Chalret du Rieu, CEO of Vadato
We believe in a Web3 that transcends the boundaries of innovation to serve causes that matter. This collaboration is proof that blockchain can have a real impact, here and now.
Nicolas Louvet, CEO of Coinhouse
A call to those who want to take action
This initiative is much more than a simple collection: it is an invitation to be part of a movement. Each donation directly contributes to projects that change lives, but it is not just about financial support. It is about bringing your voice, your ideas, and your support to a global mission.
For example, in 2009, CCFD-Terre Solidaire produced an exclusive report on financial diversions carried out by several heads of state around the world. This was followed by 10 years of intense legal battles that resulted, in 2017, in multiple convictions, including the total confiscation of “ill-gotten” goods and the restitution of more than 150 million euros to the dispossessed peoples. In March 2017, France adopted an unprecedented law on the duty of vigilance of companies and became a pioneer in the fight against the impunity of multinationals. This law is the result of a long struggle led by CCFD-Terre Solidaire with civil society and committed politicians. This text marks a historic advancement towards the respect of human and environmental rights by multinational companies.
Join the CCFD-Terre Solidaire Telegram, follow the evolution of projects dedicated to Web3 and discover how your donations, even modest ones, can become a driving force to transform unjust systems.
We believe in a future where economic justice is not a distant ideal, but a concrete reality. With your help, we can build it together.
