Is this basically a low friction way to help people in poverty to invest in an index-fund? Not a bad idea

On the right track, but the core idea is:

Glo is a stablecoin that crypto investors/regular folks buy that generates returns for people living in poverty.

Glo gives money away through GiveDirectly, so the recipients get the money in their local currency.
