How impact contributions work

Lift is the humanitarian side of Xiaomi Crowd Trading. Every contribution — direct or round-up — flows to a programme operated by one of our partner NGOs. There is a public ledger; nothing is opaque.

Where the money goes

World Food Programme (WFP)

School meals — currently active in Kakuma (Kenya) and Mombasa.

Oxfam International

Clean water and sanitation in Lilongwe (Malawi) and Dhaka (Bangladesh).

CDRF

Rural literacy and vocational training in Yunnan and Gansu, China.

Dongao Education Group

Financial-literacy MOOC, free to enrol.

The transparency loop

1. 1You contribute (or round up a trade or purchase). The amount is debited from your wallet.
2. 2Funds flow to a partner escrow account, not our balance sheet.
3. 3The partner disburses to the programme. The disbursement appears on the public Impact Ledger within 24 hours.
4. 4Each quarter, an independent auditor reviews the disbursements and publishes a report.

Are contributions tax-deductible?

It depends on your jurisdiction and the receiving partner. Where the partner offers tax-deductible giving locally, the partner issues the receipt directly. Xiaomi Crowd Trading does not issue charitable tax documents.
