For the good cause

Eight... help without conditions

Unconditional monthly money transfers to people in extreme poverty for a year.

Eight showed that it is possible to give money directly to people in poverty without relying on large institutions or large budgets. Simple mobile phones, mobile money and the support of a small, convinced group of entrepreneurs and altruists made this possible.
