Giving What We Can

Many of us have been lucky enough to grow up in wealthy countries with access to health care, education, and opportunities. Most of us also want to share our good fortune with those who need it most.

Reducing poverty and illness might be the perfect way for you to give back. Hundreds of millions of people in low-income countries are at risk of death and suffering from diseases that could easily be prevented or cured.

Giving What We Can recommends charities that turn your donation into evidence-based, cost-effective interventions that can help prevent these deaths, reducing suffering and saving lives. Some people worry that the problem is too big, that their donation won't make a difference.

But these giving opportunities are so cost-effective and impactful that even small amounts can make a world of difference, especially to those who need your help. And together, we can prevent millions of deaths while improving the health and economic conditions in the countries where they live.

When recommending charities, Giving What We Can uses expert written reports and the latest research. Rest assured there's strong evidence your donations will turn into real world impact.

And by giving to the most effective charities you can help many more people for the same amount of money. Together we can bring about a healthy, flourishing and more just world.
