Raising $1,000,000 For Giving Tuesday
+ Tell me where you are donating!
Happy Giving Tuesday! Like last year, today I’m joining lots of other Substack writers to raise $1,000,000 to deliver unconditional cash transfers to people living in rural Rwanda. The goal is to send $1,100 to all of the 800+ families living in three villages. And your donation will be matched 1.5 times, so every $100 turns into $150 for one of these families.
GiveDirectly is an organization that works in the US and worldwide (you may recall their SNAP recipient fundraiser!) that provides low-cost, low-friction direct cash transfers.
Most families in these villages are living on $1-2 a day, so $1,100 can be life-changing.
