This Programme Gives Refugees $1 a Day Through Cryptocurrency

"Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) is a cryptocurrency blockchain programme that is intended to assist the most vulnerable families in the society who cannot afford food that can be bought with $1 a day. It gives them hope that if I'm getting $1 today I can afford my food, and tomorrow this $1 is going to be there. And tomorrow I'm going to have something to eat."
