A second group is starting and will run for three months. Each of the eight participants receives 10,000 GoodDollars (G$) per day, which is approximately one U.S. dollar. The project coordinator from Compassion for Humanity receives the same amount to help monitor whether the technology is functioning properly. Compassion for Humanity supports the participants throughout the project and tracks the results.
All participants are either seamstresses or hairdressers. The seamstresses plan to use their GoodDollars to purchase sewing machines, while the hairdressers intend to spend theirs on tools and hair products.
