Evidence Action Inc
Evidence Action's Deworm the World Initiative is rated a top charity at givewell. Supporting deworming programs in low-income countries. The Deworm the World Initiative supports government-run deworming programs. It has a strong track record of starting and scaling up deworming programs. Evidence Action's Dispensers for Safe Water is rated a standout charity at givewell. Providing chlorine dispensers for decontamination of drinking water. Dispensers for Safe Water provides chlorine dispensers at wells and other water sources in Kenya, Uganda, and Malawi. We believe there is strong evidence that chlorination inactivates most diarrhea-causing microorganisms, but weaker evidence indicating a causal relationship between chlorination programs and a reduction in under-5 diarrhea and deaths.
GiveDirectly
GiveDirectly is rated a top charity at givewell. Distributing cash to very poor individuals in Kenya and Uganda. Directly transferring money to poor individuals allows them to purchase that which they believe will help them most. Strong evidence indicates that cash transfers lead recipients to spend more on their basic needs.
Against Malaria Foundation
Against Malaria Foundation is rated a top charity at givewell. Insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is one of the leading killers of children in Africa. Insecticide-treated nets prevent malaria and are inexpensive — about $5 per net.
