FUNDACHILD

FUNDACHILD is a birth-anchored child savings and trust platform built to help families start funding a child's future from day one.

Current status

This repository is an early product scaffold. It contains:

• A Next.js web app with an initial product landing page.
• A Node/Express API with health and version landing endpoints.
• Product and architecture notes for the intended MVP.

Core idea

A child gets a dedicated vault early in life. Parents, guardians, diaspora relatives, donors, and institutions can contribute over time. The platform uses Stellar as the settlement rail for fast, low-cost, transparent transfers while keeping the user experience simple for non-crypto users.
