Faye was not the first person to propose giving money directly to the poor, as some nongovernmental organizations and governments had done for years. But during his time as a research analyst at the United Nations Millennium Project, where the Harvard mathematics and classics major worked before returning for his doctorate in business economics, Faye wondered what he could do to draw a more direct line between donors and recipients. And he decided “the most obvious” response was to launch GiveDirectly in 2008 to deliver cash transfers to the extreme poor.
Devex posed the question to some of the world’s most promising global development social enterprises. Fifty-four of them convened in Washington, D.C., last week for a two-day summit hosted by the U.S. Agency for International Development that paired private investors with social innovators in agriculture.

He moved to Albuquerque to reconnect with a high school sweetheart. He’s wearing all black, with a track jacket zipped up to combat the early spring cold, a University of New Mexico Lobos visor (“I’m trying to get down with the Lobos, since I can’t watch the Bulls play here”), and comfortable shoes. Tall and strong-bodied, he got a job as a security guard at St. Martin’s about nine months ago. After the city partnered with the nonprofit to create the panhandling program, Cole was the natural choice to drive the van and supervise the workers
