We also visited two projects currently run by Evidence Action. Below, we have posted notes and pictures from our visits with GiveDirectly and the Evidence Action's projects: Dispensers for Safe Water and Deworm the World Initiative.

  Table of Contents   GiveDirectly Evidence Action  Dispensers for Safe Water Deworm the World Initiative      GiveDirectly GiveDirectly transfers cash to poor households in the developing world via the M-PESA mobile phone-based payment service.  It is currently active in Kenya, with plans to expand into an additional country during 2013. Its current model involves grants of $1,000 (USD) over 9 months, after which recipients become ineligible. GiveDirectly aims to help the poorest households, targeting those that are in "acute poverty." It aims to deliver at least 90 cents directly to recipients of every $1.00 in total expenses.
