Give more. Give smarter.
Make it count.
Not all donations are equal. Some charities are literally 100× more effective than others at the same goal. We cut through the noise.
Evidence-Based
We only feature charities with rigorous RCT or quasi-experimental evidence for their core interventions.
Independently Evaluated
All recommendations are based on GiveWell, Founders Pledge, or ACE assessments — not charity self-reporting.
Cost-Effectiveness First
We compare charities on lives saved per dollar, not operational metrics like overhead ratios.
Top picks by evidence
Globally and Somalia-specific organisations evaluated on impact per dollar.
Distributes insecticide-treated bed nets in sub-Saharan Africa. One of the most cost-effective life-saving interventions ever studied.
Provides direct cash transfers to extremely poor households. Strong evidence shows cash outperforms many traditional aid programs in Africa.
Delivers seasonal malaria chemoprevention to children in the Sahel. Reaches millions annually with preventive medicine.
Addresses acute malnutrition in Somalia's most vulnerable communities through therapeutic feeding and nutrition education.
Vocational training and employment support for Somali youth. Addresses youth unemployment — a key driver of instability.
Earning to Give
For high-income professionals — especially Somali diaspora earning in USD, GBP, or EUR — donating a significant share of income may be the single highest-impact action available.
