Against Malaria Foundation
Distributes insecticide-treated nets to prevent malaria deaths

GiveDirectly
Direct cash transfers to people living in extreme poverty
Why we chose this
GiveDirectly gives cash directly to people living in extreme poverty, letting recipients decide how to spend it. Rigorous research including randomized controlled trials shows cash transfers improve food security, assets, and psychological wellbeing. It also sets a benchmark — if a charity can't beat direct cash, it should reconsider its approach.

Helen Keller International
Vitamin A supplementation and nutrition programs saving children's lives
Why we chose this
Helen Keller International's Vitamin A Supplementation program is one of GiveWell's top charities. Vitamin A deficiency kills an estimated 200,000–300,000 children annually. Supplementation costs pennies per child and has strong evidence from multiple large trials.

Malaria Consortium
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention for children in Africa
Why we chose this
Malaria Consortium delivers seasonal malaria chemoprevention — preventive medicine given to children during peak malaria season. GiveWell estimates this costs roughly $3,000–5,000 per life saved, making it one of the highest-impact interventions in global health.
