Trusted by top reviewers, funders, and researchers, Give Directly gives cash directly to people living in poverty. GiveDirectly is a nonprofit that lets donors send money directly to the world’s poorest households. We believe people living in poverty deserve the dignity to choose for themselves how best to improve their lives — cash enables that choice. Since 2009, $650M+ in cash has been given directly into the hands of over 1.5 million people living in poverty.
“In fact, research finds people use cash in impactful and creative ways. We read the research. We read more research. Then we did our own research. And it turns out, people use cash on medicine; cows and goatsand chickens; school fees; water; solar lights; tin roofs; irrigation; motorcycles to jumpstart taxi services; businesses to generate income; and more.”
