Blaho for Communities: New Opportunities for Communities and Donors
The Blaho platform will focus on supporting small towns and rural areas, allowing international donors to directly fund verified reconstruction projects. Thanks to a digital control mechanism, each transaction will be as transparent, targeted, and accountable as possible, which will enhance trust in the recovery process.
“Blaho will provide a digital mechanism for transparent, targeted, and accountable support for Ukrainian communities from international donors.”
Partnership for Sustainable Development
A memorandum has already been signed between Epicenter and Itera, confirming their joint commitments to launch and further develop the Blaho platform. Active promotion of the tool among international partners and ensuring its long-term effectiveness is anticipated. The official launch of the platform is scheduled for October 2025.
The Epicenter group of companies encompasses businesses in retail, agriculture, wood processing, building materials production, and logistics. The Norwegian company Itera specializes in implementing sustainable digital transformations, operates in eight countries, including Ukraine, and offers services in artificial intelligence development, cloud technologies, analytics, and digital design.
