Crazy Money plot

"Small sum, big consequences"

Donating money without giving much advice or attaching conditions to it: people in development aid harbor a certain suspicion about it. Yet an experiment in the Ugandan village of Busibi proves that it can work. Organization Eight.world put it to the test. For two years, residents of Busibi received a basic income deposited into their account via a mobile phone: 16 euros per adult, 8 euros for a child. Although it was not a success story for every individual, the organization achieved some surprisingly positive results. Attendance at school soared and people started businesses and were able to save.
