GiveDirectly

Give Directly GiveDirectly allows donors to send money directly to the extreme poor in East Africa, no strings attached. Our approach is guided by rigorous evidence of impact and by our core values of efficiency, transparency, and respect. We also aim to serve as a knowledge laboratory by optimizing and expanding the use of cash transfers, answering key policy questions posed by the field. Through this work, we seek to reshape international giving by forcing donors to always ask whether they are doing more good for the poor with each donated dollar than the poor could do for themselves.
