Our proven charities are supported by a large body of high quality research that includes everything from randomized controlled studies to independent research.

Malaria Charities
Malaria is one of the biggest, and yet most preventable, global health issue facing the world today. As often is the case, it turns out prevention is the best approach.

Picture
Deworming
Deworming is a cost-effective way to increase school attendance because the effects of parasitic worms can make it difficult for an infected child to go to school. Fortunately, these worms can be treated for a dollar.

Cash transfers
Giving a "cash transfer" is another way of saying that you're giving people money. That's it. Nothing fancy. Yet it's one of the most effective things you can do to fight poverty.

Picture
How are these areas chosen
We use the most reliable form of experiments known as randomized controlled trials. These allow you to see whether an intervention is effective compared to if it had not been done.

Why Scientifically proven?
Science consistently beats intuition. Test it out yourself with this game where you guess which charities work, which don't, and which actually cause harm.

What are Charity Scientists?
Charity scientists are people who want to revolutionize doing good the same way that science revolutionized medicine.

They don't support whatever charity shows up at their door. They think strategically about which to support, back the ones that are scientifically proven and help the most people.
