cash transfers
Money given directly
Cash transfers are direct payments of money from governments or organizations to individuals or households, typically as a form of aid or social assistance.
Unlike in-kind benefits such as food stamps or housing vouchers, cash transfers let recipients decide how to spend the funds: The program provides unconditional cash transfers to families below the poverty line.
Conditional cash transfers require recipients to meet certain criteria, like keeping children in school or attending health checkups.
