DIRECT DONATIONS DRIVE LOCAL CHANGE

Disrupt extreme poverty in rural Africa with a radically transparent model that celebrates village democracy, direct giving, and donor updates (e.g., pics, videos). Small transfers of cash make a big difference when they target community-led projects.

How It Works

Bakili Village votes to build a nursery school to improve early childhood education.
#democracy

Alice, a teacher in New York City, donates to Bakili's project.
#directgiving

The completed nursery school welcomes its first class of students.
#donorupdates
