    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Matias Cortese

    The work of AMUCSS (AsociaciĆ³n Mexicana de Uniones de CrĆ©dito del Sector Social), the Peopleā€™s Clearinghouse, and the Interledger Foundation is rooted in one shared belief: that financial inclusion is not just about money, but about people, land, and culture. What might seem like simple economic activity is, in truth, a story of life, resilience, and tradition. One where digital tools meet ancestral knowledge to build a fairer future. This project had the goal of integrating rural reality and technology in the most humane way possible.
