About the session
“What if we give out unconditional cash to people? Will they spoil it or use it wisely?” This pivotal question sparked the creation of Eight back in 2015.
Initially, it began as a pilot project to measure the effects of basic income in a rural community in Uganda.
We have now created a scale, demonstrating that unconditional cash transfers are a powerful tool for building resilient livelihoods and sustainable supply chains.
We are present in three countries: Uganda, Ivory Coast, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, directly empowering the producers and miners who are at the very foundation of products like your coffee, chocolate bar, and electronic devices.
Join us as we combine compelling facts and inspiring stories to show you the remarkable impact we’re creating.
