UNDP: Sustainable Energy for Resilient Communities

Our featured Cause this month is a collection of five projects supported by UNDP, all focused on one goal: bringing sustainable energy to communities that need it most.

From solar-powered schools in Afghanistan that give girls the chance to learn, to Samoan farmers protecting their cocoa harvests with solar dryers, to market vendors keeping food fresh with renewable storage — each project is creating real change on the ground.

Together, they’re proving that access to clean, reliable energy isn’t just about electricity. It’s about dignity, opportunity, and resilience for entire communities.

ShapeShift 

This month, we’re celebrating our friends at ShapeShift, a project that’s been part of the Giveth story for years.

ShapeShift is a decentralized platform that makes it easy to trade, earn, and explore crypto while staying in control of your own wallet. But more than that, they’ve been close collaborators and long-time supporters of the “blockchain for good” movement.

From hackathons and DAO launches to sponsoring our very first Quadratic Funding round and now Causes QF. ShapeShift has been right there beside us, helping build the future of giving.
