Change. From phone to phone. It's in your hands.
Social Income is a new way to fight poverty in the Global South, creating real change, from human to human.
Social Income explained
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.
