Social Impact

Stop Publishing Receipts. This Founder’s Transparency Hack is Brilliant.

Fab Friends looks like a simple crowdfunding site for Rwandan students, but it’s actually a masterclass in trust design. Instead of hiding behind sanitized impact reports, the founder is offering a radical transparency mechanism: a 2027 trip to Rwanda. It’s not a donor perk; it’s a physical audit.
