As COVID showed us, healthcare cannot only be a local issue. VillageReach does an amazing job of bringing high quality healthcare into hard-to-reach places.

I use Wikipedia every day and learn so much from it, and I've never had to pay a penny. Thank you, Wikipedia!

I've been really impressed by GiveDirectly's pioneering and research-driven approach to using direct cash transfers to help people climb out of poverty. They've helped show that just giving money to people so they can make their own decisions about what they need is not only empowering but also one of the most potent forms of aid. Thank you, GiveDirectly!

When I was in first grade, I planted a tree in my backyard that I got from school for Earth Day. I loved watching it get bigger and bigger. Today it's taller than me!

I listen to KUOW all day for unbiased reporting on local, national and international issues.   

KUOW is an essential part of my Seattle soundtrack.

Delivering unconditional cash directly to the world's poorest households via secure mobile transfers. 

Since 2009, GiveDirectly has delivered more than $580 million in unconditional cash transfers to families in need. These one-time cash transfers allow recipients to invest in what they need most and have been shown to improve their earnings, children’s school attendance, health, nutrition, and mental well-being.
 
GiveDirectly uses government data to target villages where most or all residents are living in extreme poverty, defined by the World Bank as earning under $2.15/day. In-country GiveDirectly staff enroll one member of each household in the entire village to receive a one-time transfer of about $1,000 USD sent in two installments using mobile money. Recipients can then withdraw the mobile funds as cash with local agents and use the funds to invest in what they need – whether it’s on starting a business, education, making their home safer/sturdier, healthcare, or livestock.
 
GiveDirectly uses rigorous experimental research (randomized controlled trials) to measure the impact of their unconditional cash programs and answer public policy questions, generating evidence on key design and implementation questions across varied contexts. You can find over 300 studies on the positive impacts of cash transfers in GiveDirectly’s Cash Research Explorer.

The destruction of healthy forest systems causes so many different problems. Trees provide a habitat for animals, purify water sources, control flooding and erosion and help to replenish the soil with nutrients needed for farming. When farmers can’t grow anything their farms fail and they have no option but to move to the overcrowded cities looking for work. Often they have to resort to selling themselves or their families into slavery just to survive.

We start by hiring the local community to plant trees. This gives them a decent income so they can provide for their families again. As the reforestation effort goes on, healthy forests begin to emerge and all the negative effects of deforestation begin to disappear.
