Basic monthly income, effective and direct
To start eradicating poverty is possible with a simple tool: giving money to people constantly and without conditions
Why
We believe that all habitants of the planet deserve to have a basic nourishment to live and that its logical to start with people who live in poverty.
How
We created a social startup that associates private parties so that they contribute money monthly and we distribute it to people living in poverty.
What
We transfer money to people who live in poverty directly and constantly, without conditions.
“Only by investing 1% of their GDP, the United States could lift its entire population out of poverty”
Rutger Bregman. TED Talk 2017
WHAT DO WE DO
Real social investment
We implemented the transfer of COP $300.000 per month for basic income to people living in poverty.
You receive monthly reports with the impact that money generates on their behavior and lives, thanks to the follow up interviews we carry out every two weeks.
PROBLEM
21 million people in Colombia live on less than COP $11.000 a day. It means that they live in monetary or extreme poverty.
SOLUTION / Stage 1
It’s time to transform philanthropy
Overcoming the cycle of poverty requires determination. Much more than a spontaneous help or a good intention. Giving directly and consistently is a fast, efficient, proven, and empowering way to do it.
Can you imagine the wealth that we can generate if each of us donates just 1% of our monthly income?

How do we measure the impact?
We partner up with EAFIT’s master’s degree in Social Business Management for Social Innovation and Local Development to gather information on the impact generated by the monthly, constant and unconditional basic income.
We have the accompaniment of Beatriz Londoño Foundation psychologists who are in charge of conducting a fortnightly interview with each of the beneficiaries. A depth interview of 1 hour and a follow-up of 15 minutes.
Team
We put our experience in private companies at the service of this social purpose. Our team combines capabilities in entrepreneurship, management, finance, marketing, technology, and human sciences.
