Develop Africa Inc.’s Post

This weekend I crossed over into a new decade! In celebration, I set up a fundraiser for three charities that I think are doing really effective work to tackle preventable diseases in the developing world, improve the lives of animals on factory farms, and provide mental health support for less fortunate communities. Please support these charities through this fundraiser if you can :). Thanks a bunch! "(1) I support Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) because it is one of the lowest costs of saving human lives, and the Western world seems to have all but forgotten about one of the biggest killers in the world, one that we know how to solve! AMF distributes bed nets in Sub-Saharan Africa that stop mosquitoes from biting during sleep, dramatically reducing the rates of malaria. Malaria still kills hundreds of thousands of people every year, many of whom are children. (2) I support The Humane League (THL) because of their focus on improving the welfare of factory farmed animals, who have some of the worst lives on Earth, and who still form part of the the diet of most people in the UK. THL's corporate campaign programs leverage pressure against large corporations like McDonalds, The Co-op, and Lidl to get them to eliminate the use of cages in their supply chains, which helps stop the worst forms of abuse on factory farms. (3) I support StrongMinds because, having struggled with depression myself, it feels tragic to me that there are millions of people who do not have access to treatments that help brighten the darkness due to lack of available services. StrongMinds offer free group therapy to people struggling with depression in low-income communities in Africa." https://lnkd.in/ddvfqUS4

Through the end of tomorrow (April 12th), your donation of up to $50 will be matched at 50% by GlobalGiving's Little By Little campaign. Malaria, a preventable disease, can be combated with insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), one of the two core interventions. These long-lasting nets, commonly known as mosquito nets or bed nets, provide a powerful shield against the spread of this deadly disease.

Do you like pub quizzes? Do you like flexing about your knowledge of energy, finance, and Taylor Swift? Do you hate mosquito-borne illnesses? If YES, then I have the event for you! For my 25th birthday, I'm fundraising for the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) by hosting a pub quiz (with a 👀 bar tab* 👀 of undisclosed amount), with questions for both regular trivia punters and my fellow energy/finance/politics nerds! If you're reading this, you and all the colleagues/mates you can bring are invited! Just pay the small and tax-deductible entrance fee of a $10 per person donation to the AMF. October 17th, Forest Lodge Hotel, Sydney. Doors open at 5pm, quiz starts at 6pm, quiz ends at 8pm. Donation page: https://lnkd.in/geYZS7H4 ===== The Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) distributes long-lasting insecticide bed nets to people who couldn't otherwise get them. People who sleep under bed nets won't get bitten by mosquitos that carry malaria and heaps of other nasty diseases. Your entrance fee would protect two people from malaria for three years, and independent charity evaluator GiveWell estimates that for every US$3,000 to US$8,000 ($4,400-$11,600) spent by the AMF, someone who would otherwise die from malaria gets to live. That's pretty neat. (*Please drink responsibly. The bar tab is also for food & soft drinks.) (** Please forgive this Facebook-tier post, but the more people who come to the event, the more nets we'll fundraise!)

The Mironid Mudders are taking on Tough Mudder Scotland on 15th June to raise funds and awareness for the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Charity UK. We'll be put through our paces – 5 km of mud and 12+ hardcore obstacles – but we’re expecting teammate camaraderie to get us all over the finish line! At Mironid, we’re dedicated to developing new therapies to treat ADPKD (Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease) and other rare diseases. ADPKD is a debilitating inherited disease that causes cysts to form in the kidneys over time and leads to kidney damage and failure, at which point patients need dialysis or transplant. ADPKD is the most common inherited kidney disease, with 1 person in every 1,000-2,500 in the UK having ADPKD. The PKD charity is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals & families affected by PKD in the UK. They provide information, advice and personalised support as well as raising the awareness of the burden of PKD. You can donate here: https://lnkd.in/exwvJwtR !

Each year, 1.5 million lives are lost to #tuberculosis. In #Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, less than 9% of tuberculosis cases are reported, leading to preventable deaths. But here’s the good news: with proper treatment, patients can recover within just a few months! That’s why we’re working together with our partners on the ground to enhance tuberculosis detection and treatment by improving case reporting, especially among children. Our efforts include: - Awareness and de-stigmatization programs - Health and nutritional counseling - Screening support - Capacity building Let’s spread the word to prevent unnecessary deaths! Every like, share or comment can make an impact.
