The Sacred Flow
A Heartfelt Promise
At the Ripple Foundation, transparency is the heartbeat of our work. We see The Sacred Flow as more than just a system—it’s our heartfelt promise to you and to the African communities we serve. It embodies our compassionate commitment to open, honest, and accountable management of every donation and resource—something we believe has been severely lacking in this world. We see these resources as vital life energy, and we treat them as if they were our own.
Through The Sacred Flow, we record and display every financial movement in real-time, so donors can see exactly how their support helps transform lives on a daily basis. It is our sacred promise of trust, woven into the very fabric of our work, demonstrating that love, transparency, and collective effort are at the heart of true and lasting change. Bitcoin allows us to become fully transparent and auditable.
We invite you to join us in honoring this transformative journey—where every contribution flows openly and every impact is shared exclusively with the Ripple Family!
Welcome to the Sacred Flow! How does it work?
1. Donations in Fiat
Supporters give donations in local currency (EUR, USD, etc.) or Bitcoin through our website or other approved channels. Every month, these contributions are accumulated on our platform.
2. Conversion to Bitcoin
At the end of each month, all fiat donations are converted into Bitcoin. This process is transparent and securely managed, ensuring that every cent donated is accurately transformed into digital assets.
3. Recording on the Blockchain
The converted Bitcoin is recorded on the blockchain, providing a publicly accessible and tamper-proof record of the transactions made. This step guarantees complete transparency, allowing anyone to verify the movement of funds.
4. Display of Financial Flows
All transactions—such as purchases, project funding, and surplus allocation—are displayed in real-time on The Sacred Flow. These data points are made available publicly, so supporters can see exactly what for and how their support is being used.
5. Direct Transfers to Projects
The Bitcoin is then transferred directly from our platform to the projects in Ghana and other regions. This direct transfer avoids intermediaries like banks or governments, increasing efficiency and security.
6. Surplus Management & Long-term Growth
Any Bitcoin surplus that exceeds immediate project needs is moved into the Ripple Foundation Treasury Reserve. This reserve is held as long-term capital to support future projects and ensure sustainability.
7. Monthly Impact Updates
Every month, we publish an impact update — a blog — detailing what was invested, project milestones, stories from the communities, and the overall progress. These updates are partly accessible to the public, while full transaction details and inside information are available exclusively on The Ripple Dashboard for our Ripple Family members only.
