Binance Charity has partnered with Instituto Ruas to provide digital and financial inclusion to the homeless in the city of São Paulo. Binance is raising cryptocurrency donations and building a digital center to provide free internet access and computer training.

Father Júlio Lancellotti, leader of Instituto Ruas, said: “Society may not realise that digital exclusion is a huge problem for homeless people. For everyone, life is now completely digital, which is a barrier in many ways. For example, it is difficult for digitally excluded people to fill out any forms, such as applying for a job or financial support for social programmes, which often require online submission or at least text messaging on a mobile phone. Digitally excluded people are also excluded financially.”
