A #Basic IncomeGrant (BIG) in South Africa would be transformative. It can end poverty and hunger, revitalise local economies, and mitigate widespread unemployment. We can afford to phase it in! And we can't afford not to.

In #SouthAfrica young people are desperate to work, but often have to choose between searching for a job and buying food. A #BasicIncomeGrant frees people from day-to-day survival mode, unlocking their ability to build a future for themselves, through work or entrepreneurship.

Poverty traps generations in a cycle of poor health & education. This costs us all as a society.
A #BasicIncomeGrant (BIG) can help break this cycle. Kids grow up healthier & stay in school, improving their ouTcomes later in life. > ow.ly/n1zQ50RjEfU
