We send cash directly to families living in poverty.

Story

On the 16th April, Simon and Joel Cockcroft will set off on the 105 mile journey along the coast of Scotland in an attempt to conquer the Kintyre Way in 4 days.

The challenge is for 2 charities. ANDYSMANCLUB and GiveDirectly but this particular page is to donate to GiveDirectly

Giving money directly to people in poverty internationally is one of the most effective way of helping those people. There is a common misconception that this may lead to the money being wasted but research shows that this is not the case.

It turns out, people use cash on medicine; cows and goats and chickens; school fees; water; solar lights; tin roofs; irrigation; motorcycles to jumpstart taxi services; businesses to generate income; and more.

This way of donating puts money directly in the hands of those who have the best idea on how to help themselves so we believe it is a great charity to support to have the most impact with the money we raise
