When you give mothers cash…
Earlier this year, we shared a Ted Talk given by Aisha Nyandoro, CEO of Springboard to Opportunities. Springboard to Opportunities is a similar organization to WANDA, as they provide single moms with $1,000 per month with no strings attached. With this investment, they have found that women are more likely to stick with the program, which has redefined the program to pilot early universal basic income (UBI) cohorts.
Aisha continues to call for a redefinition of what it means to be wealthy — putting aside lavish vacations and fancy cars in favor of paid bills and a well-fed family — and to listen when people tell us what they need most. She recently won the Heinz Award in Economy and was recognized in Time Magazine.
