## Resource

GiveDirectly president and CEO Nick Allardice explains how his team uses AI, mobile money, and satellite imagery to send cash directly to people living in poverty and crisis, often within days of a disaster. He describes how AI-powered tools help forecast floods in places like Nigeria, Bangladesh, and Mozambique, and how “anticipatory action” can get money to families before disaster strikes.
