Gifting can potentially help to alleviate poverty in many ways.
Direct aid: Gifting provides access to healthcare, education, food, and other necessities directly to those in need providing them with much-needed resources and support.
Economic stimulation: Providing start-up support to businesses through loans and grants can help to stimulate economic activity and creates job opportunities.
Empowerment: Giving gifts that support long-term well-being, such as education or job training, can empower individuals to break the cycle of poverty and improve their economic circumstances.
Social connections: Gifting can help to strengthen social connections and create a sense of community, providing a supportive network for those who are struggling with poverty. Strong functional networks are formed when women mutually support each other in business and with shared domestic responsibilities.
