Those that live in Sierra Leone’s poorest communities know what it takes to rise out of poverty.
Unique Process for Fair Selection
- Identifying those in need: Through collaboration with local NGOs in Sierra Leone, we target individuals living in poverty who can benefit from a three-year predictable income, empowering them to invest in their future.
- Selecting randomly: Our randomized selection process is transparent and publicly verifiable, eliminating human biases and favoritism. This ensures fairness and equal chances for all individuals in poverty to benefit.
Direct Giving, Direct Results
We directly transfer your contribution onto the mobile phones of individuals in need, empowering them to overcome poverty through their own choices and efforts.
Ongoing Support
Our recipients receive continuous support from our local partners throughout and even after the program, maximizing the overall impact. Specifically, the third year of the program is focused on facilitating a seamless transition as they move on from the program.
