Jack Dorsey is using his substantial wealth to help tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

After the coronavirus outbreak has been contained, Dorsey said, Start Small will shift its focus to funding girls' health and education, as well as universal basic income, a regular cash payment made to citizens by the government.
"Why UBI and girl's health and education? I believe they represent the best long-term solutions to the existential problems facing the world," Dorsey said in a follow-up tweet. "UBI is a great idea needing experimentation. Girl's health and education is critical to balance."
