Give driectly does wonderful work. Direct cash aid to beat extreme poverty is an effective & efficient intervention. I am an economics post-graduate, I run a management consulting firm, and from time to time,I experience poverty as sometimes one just has no earnings and savings are depleated; andn if it happens at my level, then for the unskilled its much worse. I have a lot of family members on social security (South Africa), free schooling & university loans , the money is small, but I can attest tothe fact that the small amount of money goes a very long way. 99% of people are responsiblee and cash empowers them to help themselves out of poverty, and people know how best to upgrade themselves.

Get Africa to carry out credible elections not bogus and shambolic ones, and in that way they’ll get leaders that have their people at heart and who’ll empower the people so you don’t support us by giving us free money! How do you see that?
