Floating on a Life Boat

A new currency on the streets of Pietermaritzburg is changing the lives of the homeless, one voucher at a time.

Life Boat allows residents to help people living on the street without giving them cash directly.

For more on how the initiative works exactly, Jay Mannikam, the CEO of the One Life Foundation joined us.

He says through the voucher system you are assured that it will be used for a hot meal, clothes or a service.

It can even be traced.
