An initiative to send $17 million to Venezuelan healthcare workers is struggling because the exchange to move the funds has been blocked in the country since 2018.

In brief

Venezuela’s opposition has launched a project to get $17 million to healthcare workers in the country using crypto exchange AirTM.

But the project is struggling due to the website being blocked in the country.

Venezuelans are slowly but surely finding ways to access the funds.

Millions of dollars aimed at helping healthcare workers in crisis-stricken Venezuela cannot enter the country because the cryptocurrency exchange helping the project has been blocked.   

An initiative was launched last week by main opposition leader, Juan Guaido, to unlock frozen Venezuelan government funds and transfer them to the South American country. The project, Heroes of Health, hopes to send $17 million to 62,000 underpaid healthcare workers in a bid to help them fight the spread of COVID-19. 

But the exchange supposed to help the movement of funds, AirTM, said that the project is struggling to take off because users are unable to access the website, according to an Associated Press report. 

AirTM uses a digital wallet connected to banks and blockchains in order to send money abroad. It has become popular in Venezuela—which has the world’s highest inflation—in recent years as people try to get dollars or crypto into the country. 

The exchange has been blocked in the country since 2018, but users have found ways of using it, primarily VPNs. 

Now, though, when it is most needed, healthcare workers are struggling to access it.
