Episode Synopsis

In this powerful talk, the speaker addresses the global crisis of extreme poverty, where hundreds of millions struggle to meet basic needs. While traditional aid projects often fail due to inefficiency and bureaucracy, unconditional cash transfers offer a solution that is more effective, efficient, and respectful. By directly giving cash to those in need, people can make their own choices and invest in what matters most to them, from starting businesses to accessing healthcare. Advances in technology now make it easier to distribute funds quickly and directly, empowering individuals and communities to lift themselves out of poverty with dignity.
