Every dollar traceable, every structure visible. The data, not the promises.
The problem SAKALA fights is a problem of capture: in the dominant economy, most of the value is captured along the way before it ever reaches communities. You don't fix that with good intentions. You fix it with a structure that anyone can verify.
That's why we publish what we can publish responsibly: our bylaws, our governance, the model that decides where every dollar goes, and the commitment to a public ledger. What we never publish is the personal data of our donors and our participants.
We operate through separate entities, each with a clear role. Charity doesn't mix with commerce; donor money doesn't mix with business revenue.
Governance: Daniel Tillias, founding director (CNN Heroes 2019 nominee), supported by a board of directors. See the leadership.
Every surplus is split by a fixed, irrevocable rule: 40 / 40 / 20. 40% in wages for the young people, 40% in allocated gold held by the community, 20% reinvested in the next cohort. This is a structural proof, true on paper by construction, not a promise of results.
A dollar of classic aid reaches Haitian hands at a rate of 1 to 12 cents, spent once. A dollar in this model is held at roughly 80 cents by the community, and it leaves behind an asset that appreciates. This capture rate (about 86% for extraction) isn't a guess: it's measured across 34 documented cases, on four continents and over 260 years, by BARSS research. See the model in detail.
