How I can help others
Reach out to me if you have any questions about effective giving, especially the 10% pledge. I regularly give talks, donor advice and attend most EAG events. Also feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss global health related issues. I have over 10 year experience in this area, much of it spent living in the global south.
For me the 🔸10% pledge is all about social justice and equality. I am in the position of real luxury and ease, mainly by luck of birth. Others around the globe suffer a great deal - equally as a function of their luck (or lack thereof). My 10% pledge is about doing something to balance that unfair inequality.
