Rwanda Safeguarding Field Manager GiveDirectly
• GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest.
The
Brookings
Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions.
GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty. GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011 and delivered cash to more than 2 million people in 15 different countries.
We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs.
As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by
Fast
Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the
New
York
Times
Magazine,
This
American
Life,
Foreign
Affairs, and
The
Economist.
