Global Health Charities: Which are the most effective?

Wed, November 30, 2016
Dinner Program
Students from Health, Measurement, and Justice (Phil-180)

Come hear fellow CMC’ers from Phil 180 pitch three of the most effective global health charities—and then decide which of the three charities will receive your vote of support.

Given a choice between three important humanitarian public health charities, where would you decide to donate your money? And how would you decide? Maybe based on need? Or maybe lives saved? How about cost-effectiveness? Or economic impact? 

Using outcomes and metrics of impact and cost effectiveness, students from Professor Andrew Schroeder’s Phil 180 class, "Health, Measurement, and Justice," will lobby for the important global public health areas of deworming, anti-malaria, and food fortification efforts worldwide. Specifically, they will pitch for a charity that distributes deworming pills to children in Uganda, one that supports food fortification efforts in Zimbabwe, and one that distributes bed-nets to guard against malaria in Malawi.

Come hear pitches advocating for each of these programs and cast a vote of support—which will actually translate into a monetary donation—for your preferred group. 

Your vote counts!
