To date, five village-level tokens (each integrated with the Bancor Protocol) have been launched in the following communities:
Nairobi Area – Kawangware, Kibera and Kangemi
Coastal Area – Bangladesh and Kwa Ng’ombe
We’re at the early stages of rolling out the Bancor Wallet to these communities, allowing businesses and community members to transact in these tokens. We’re at about 1000 wallets now, and growing by about 100 wallets per week. Users are able to transact from non-smartphones without needing Internet access (more info: https://www.grassrootseconomics.org/single-post/2018/12/03/Blockchain-without-Internet & https://blog.bancor.network/bancor-progress-update-december-2018-e055ce9de209)

Galia and Will Ruddick (Grassroots’ co-founder) recently presented Sarafu at the United Nations’ session on Blockchain for Sustainable Development, where they also shared the pilot’s 2019 impact goals:
Launch Liquid Community Currencies in 40 new communities across Kenya & Uganda.
Activate wallets for 100,000 business owners across communities with over 400,000 total people.
Facilitate over $5.5 million in community-level volume to help close the gap for key Sustainable Development Goals.
