What’s the best way to lift people out of poverty?

Über dieses Video

Explore different poverty intervention and aid programs, and how direct cash giving can address a community's needs. -- In 2018, a nonprofit gave every adult in the Ahenyo village $500. Most families had lived in extreme poverty for generations, and this sum was roughly equivalent to their annual salaries. The money came with no strings attached to how it could be spent. Would this lift villagers out of poverty or be another failed philanthropic endeavor? Explore aid programs and how they address people's needs. Directed by Jolene Tan.
