cash transfers

Cash transfers are direct payments of money from governments, organizations, or charities to individuals or families, typically aimed at reducing poverty or providing support during crises. They offer recipients the flexibility to use the funds according to their needs, whether for essentials like food, healthcare, or education. This approach helps empower individuals, promotes dignity, and can be more efficient than in-kind aid, which provides specific goods. Cash transfers are often conditioned or unconditional, depending on the program’s goals, with the primary purpose being to improve economic stability and support societal well-being.
