Effective Altruism Australia

Every Christmas, Australia spends billions on gifts. This year, what if a small part of that went somewhere that could save lives? Just $100 can help protect around 65 people from malaria through one of the most cost-effective, evidence-backed interventions in global health. We all have the power, and the privilege, to help address global inequality through evidence-based giving. Let’s do the most good we can this Christmas - https://lnkd.in/g6AXVBup #Christmas #EffectiveAltruism #EAA

How many people could 1% of your income help? https://lnkd.in/dt3sBA4g For most of us, 1% may not dramatically change our lives.

See what your 1% could do: https://lnkd.in/dd9D_A-G #OnePercentCampaign #EffectiveGiving #EffectiveAltruism #GiveBetter #MakeAnImpact

“What do you do when you win the lottery? You give a bit to people who haven't been as lucky as you.” Meet Henry, a doctor who donates 10% of his income to charity. For him, effective giving isn't about extremes or living out of a van - it’s about finding a middle ground that challenges the norm and normalises the beautiful act of giving.
