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
