GiveDirectly

Just a heads up: if you were considering donating to GiveDirectly this year (the Cash Transfer Charity that puts money directly in the hands of extremely poor people in Uganda and Kenya) you should do it prior to the 31st of January.

A donor is matching donations at the rate of 100% throughout the month of January. You can read more about it here:
