Transforming Lives Through Direct Cash Transfers

GiveDirectly is a pioneering nonprofit organization that believes in the power of cash. By providing direct cash transfers to families living in poverty, GiveDirectly empowers individuals to make their own choices and improve their lives. Operating in various regions, including the United States and several countries in Africa, GiveDirectly has redefined the way charitable giving is approached.

Our Story

Founded in 2009, GiveDirectly emerged from the belief that cash is the most effective form of aid. The organization started by sending money directly to families in Kenya, allowing them to invest in their own futures. This innovative approach has since expanded to include recipients in the United States, where families facing economic hardships receive cash assistance to help them regain stability.

Through rigorous research and evaluation, GiveDirectly has demonstrated that cash transfers not only improve the well-being of recipients but also stimulate local economies. Families use the funds to pay for essential needs such as food, healthcare, and education, leading to long-term positive outcomes.

Impact of GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly has made a significant impact on the lives of thousands of families. With over $400 million distributed to recipients, the organization has proven that direct cash transfers can lead to measurable improvements in quality of life. Studies show that recipients experience increased spending on food, improved mental health, and enhanced economic stability.

• Food Security: Families receiving cash transfers report a 30% increase in food consumption, ensuring that children are well-nourished.
• Healthcare Access: Recipients are more likely to seek medical care, leading to better health outcomes.
• Education Investment: Families invest in their children's education, resulting in higher school attendance rates.
