Our Theory of Change maps the pathway from resources and programs to lasting community resilience — grounded in evidence, shaped by community.
Six interconnected steps create a compounding cycle of community-led development.
Unconditional transfers directly to people
Agency over how needs are met
Reduced vulnerability and stress
Investment in business, health, education
Capacity to absorb and adapt to shocks
Community-wide systemic change
Our programs begin with four core inputs — each essential to generating meaningful outcomes at scale.
Six program streams working in parallel and in reinforcement of each other.
Unconditional monthly transfers to selected households via mobile money.
Practical training in savings, budgeting, and digital financial tools.
Business grants, market linkages, and skills training for income diversification.
Adaptation strategies, clean energy access, and disaster preparedness.
Leadership development, governance training, and participatory decision-making.
Digital infrastructure enabling secure, transparent cash delivery at scale.
Outcomes compound over time — short-term stability enables medium-term growth, which builds long-term resilience.
Our Theory of Change is not theoretical — it is built on decades of evidence from cash transfer programs worldwide.
"Cash transfers reduce poverty, improve nutrition, and increase school attendance — with no evidence of increased spending on alcohol or tobacco."— World Bank Meta-Analysis, 2022
"Recipients invest primarily in food, healthcare, education, and productive assets — exactly what external programs try to prescribe."— GiveDirectly Impact Report, 2023
"Direct cash transfers are among the most cost-effective interventions in global development."— MIT Poverty Action Lab
