The story

Founded in 2019 as a privately funded US-based global nonprofit, EinStrong Foundation targets extreme poverty, climate change, and social inequality through conditional basic income programs aimed at single mothers and vulnerable populations across four countries, including in the APAC region. The organization adopted advanced biometric authentication via authID to solve the fundamental problem of identity verification for beneficiaries who lack formal documentation. This technology partnership evolved from an initial deployment to a full program expansion in late 2024, positioning EinStrong as a showcase use case for biometric identity in humanitarian aid distribution.
