How Crowdfunding can solve the refugee crisis
This document discusses how crowdfunding can help solve refugee crises. It outlines the types of crowdfunding (donation, reward, equity, lending) and how they could help address refugee challenges like food, shelter, health, transport, occupation, community, and visibility. The author proposes creating a crowdfunding platform for refugees in Germany, supported by major crowdfunding partners, to allow refugees to crowdfund solutions to these challenges.
