The new partnership will support migrant children and children at risk of poverty and exclusion by strengthening resilience systems in the Western Balkans through community-based services working alongside well-established local NGO partners.

PANAMA CITY, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3-AI company, has partnered with Save the Children Hong Kong to enable Save the Children’s “Safety Nets and Resilient Families” thematic work in the Western Balkans, supporting children in underprivileged settings in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina affected by migration, poverty and social exclusion.

This partnership marks Save the Children Hong Kong’s first collaboration with a cryptocurrency company and reflects a shared commitment to leveraging innovation to create meaningful social impact for children and families affected by poverty, displacement and social exclusion.

Implemented in collaboration with Save the Children, the initiative will provide humanitarian assistance to refugee and migrant children through cash vouchers and essential non-food items. As children and families seek refuge in Europe, many transit through a key country on the so-called Balkans route, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they often face significant hardships at every stage of their journey. Save the Children is the only organization providing cash voucher assistance as a core component of its child protection response, helping families meet their essential daily needs while preserving dignity and choice.

Through the partnership, BingX will also support comprehensive protection and education services for children at risk of poverty and exclusion through community-based drop-in centres run by local NGO partners with proven expertise in the communities they serve. With one in five children living at risk of poverty and exclusion in Serbia, and one in three children living in consumption-based poverty in Bosnia and Herzegovina*, these community centres are of critical importance. They support children facing a range of challenges, including those living in substandard conditions in informal settlements, children engaged in street work, and those at risk of violence and child marriage—all of whom are disproportionately affected by extreme poverty, discrimination, and social exclusion.

At these centres, children have access to safe and supportive environments managed by experienced child protection professionals. Services include nutritious food, hygiene assistance, psychosocial support, educational guidance, legal aid, counselling, and family-strengthening programs.

Nevena Milutinovic, Save the Children Northwest Balkans Country Director, said: “Every child deserves to be protected and have a chance at a better future—and together with our partners, we work to make sure they grow up supported and included. Through our partnership with BingX, we can continue reaching children and families who need support and strengthen community drop-in centres—places that make a real difference for children facing some of the greatest barriers in the region. Children tell us that support like cash vouchers and community centres means much more than basic services. These are interventions that ensure they feel seen and supported by caring adults, make friends, feel secure, gain access to education and new opportunities, and reclaim their childhood.”

“Innovation creates its greatest value when it helps address real-world challenges. At BingX, we are committed to fostering a safe and secure future—not only within the digital asset ecosystem, but also within the communities around us. Children are the foundation of tomorrow, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. Through our partnership with Save the Children, we are proud to help protect the future by supporting children facing poverty, displacement, and social exclusion,” said Pablo Monti, BingX Spokesperson. “This partnership also forms part of BingX’s broader commitment to supporting education, inclusion, and community resilience initiatives globally, reflecting the company’s belief that technological innovation should create positive impact beyond the digital economy.”
