Kenya-based blockchain community Sankore has partnered with Swiss nonprofit NEAR Foundation to launch a regional hub that aims to develop talent within the region and build projects that aim to improve the local ecosystem.
Sankore supports projects like Kilimo Shwari, which is a blockchain-based insurance program that helps farmers deal with natural disasters. Apart from this, the firm also supports Ledja, a project which focuses on combating fraudulent documentation within Africa by using NEAR Protocol for document verification.
