What is a solidarity pool?
A solidarity pool is a common fund fed by several members contributions and redistributed according to a transparent rule. COLHYBRI chose a simple rule: each month, beneficiaries are drawn at random from neighborhood subscribers. All have equal chances, all contribute at the same level. It is the opposite of a privilege or clientelism logic.
How are beneficiaries selected?
Beneficiaries are drawn at random by a transparent and verifiable algorithm each month. A subscriber can be drawn multiple times per year, or never. This randomness ensures fairness and creates a positive surprise effect. The selection is public: every subscriber can verify the draw took place.
Why 75% and not 100%?
75% of subscriptions feed the redistributed pool. The remaining 25% cover platform technical costs (hosting, support, development), operational costs (accounting, legal) and COLHYBRI margin. It is a transparent ratio that lets the model run sustainably without subsidies or donations.
