Is Giving Money Directly to the Poor a Good Idea?
Description
Paul Niehaus, President and Co-founder of GiveDirectly, talks with Reason TV's Anthony Fisher about how his organization's new ideas in giving are changing the way people think about charity. The non-profit was founded in 2008 and is designed to help people living in extreme povery through cash transfers via mobile phones. The recipients use their mobile phones to receive the money, which they are allowed to spend as they wish. This philosophy varies greatly from traditional third party charities which largely decide how a recipient should spend the money. A Reason TV production.
