Why this is on the board
GiveDirectly maakt geld direct over aan mensen in extreme armoede — meer dan een miljard dollar sinds 2011, met GiveWell en andere evaluatoren die de aanpak doorlichten. De volgende vier miljard moet door een platform dat nu nog gebouwd wordt: wie hier de technische keuzes maakt, bepaalt hoeveel mensen bereikt worden zonder dat de uitvoering vastloopt.
About the role
GiveDirectly has delivered more than $1B in cash directly to 2+ million people living in poverty across 15 countries since 2011. We believe cash transfers are one of the most scalable, cost-effective, and dignified forms of aid, with the research to back it up. Our work has been covered by The Economist , NPR , TED , and The Washington Post . We are one of Time100’s Most Influential Companies of 2026.
