About this program
Making art is hard when you're struggling to get by. Social Income gives a small group of artists in Sierra Leone a monthly cash transfer — unconditional, no strings attached — so they can keep their practice alive while navigating economic precarity.

Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone sits on the West African coast, home to around 8.6 million people speaking Krio as the common language alongside English.
Founded in 1787 as a settlement for formerly enslaved people, it gained independence in 1961, then endured a decade-long civil war ending in 2002 and the 2014 Ebola outbreak.
Today most Sierra Leoneans live on less than three dollars a day.
