EditCOVID-19 has pushed 150 million more people into extreme poverty worldwide. You can empower them to meet their needs by giving unconditional cash transfers to the poorest households in the US and Africa. Why cash? Because the best way to alleviate poverty is to make people less poor. If the disruption of pandemic taught us anything, we need simple, direct ways to help the most vulnerable. Giving directly is a fast, efficient, proven, and empowering way to do so.
