Social Income is a new way to fight poverty in the Global South, creating real change, from human to human.
Social Income turns one percent of your salary into Universal Basic Income for people living in poverty. A small contribution from you can go a long way for someone else.
How it works
We are convinced that people in poverty know best how to improve their living conditions.

Social Income payments are sent directly to recipients’ mobile phones.
The amount disbursed is determined by the average salary where recipients live.
Why contribute?
Our contributors want to help people for a variety of reasons. Here are just a few driving forces behind the humanitarians who contribute their 1% to Social Income:
I contribute to Social Income not only because it's simple, but because research has shown it's extremely effective.

Direct cash transfer sounds complicated until you realize it's literally just sending money to people who need it.

People don't need someone to decide how they spend help. They need the help. Social Income skips straight to that part.

Recipients
Recipients in West Africa receive a guaranteed monthly Social Income over multiple years.
We started in Sierra Leone, one of the poorest countries in the world, and have since expanded to Ghana and Liberia. To put it in perspective: the average monthly income in Sierra Leone is just $42.50 (World Bank, 2022). Here, even small contributions create real impact.
For the selection of recipients, we collaborate with local NGOs who support vulnerable and disadvantaged communities.
Recipients have to be older than 16 years old.
