Root

Root is an international digital identity platform for refugee children, built on blockchain technology and aligned with major conventions on refugees and children's rights. Its objective is simple yet vital: to ensure that no child loses their identity or their story because a document is lost, a border is crossed, or an administrative system changes.

In practical terms, the solution creates a secure wallet for each child containing key documents—schooling records, health records, protection orders, proof of presence—issued by trusted partners (NGOs, schools, healthcare facilities, international agencies, and partner authorities). These documents are stored as verifiable evidence: the data remains off-chain, close to the ground, while the blockchain guarantees the integrity and authenticity of each document. The child and their guardians can thus present, in any host country, a reliable and verifiable history of their identity and journey, facilitating access to education, healthcare, and legal protection.
