D-Prize Challenge for Social Entrepreneurs to fight Poverty ($20,000)

D-Prize funds start-up businesses that disseminate tested anti-poverty programs.
Products and services to end poverty have already been created. Yet we discovered a number of effective interventions with significant delivery gaps. Still, millions of people lack access to fundamental tools for overcoming poverty.

Can you create a brand-new company or non-profit organization that effectively combats poverty? Below, submit your concept for a brand-new business that addresses one of our distribution challenges. The most promising teams will receive up to $20,000 USD to start their own nonprofit anywhere there is extreme poverty.
