introducing a radical new way to give: directly
GiveDirectly allows you to send money directly to the poor. We locate impoverished households in Kenya and then transfer donations electronically to their mobile phones. GiveDirectly was created by donors who wanted a more efficient, transparent, and respectful way to give.
how it works
- You donate through our webpage
- We locate poor households in Kenya
- We transfer your donation electronically to a recipient's cell phone
- The recipient collects the transfer
- It's efficient: it costs only 10% of each donated dollar
- It's transparent: you see exactly where your money goes
- It's respectful: the poor choose what goals to pursue
