Hi Joseph, I'm Richard Poole, Global Trusts Manager at Sightsavers. Thank you for considering Sightsavers for the list. We're delighted to be included!
As well as our work on eye health and disability inclusion, I thought it was worth flagging that Sightsavers also delivers high-impact school-based deworming programmes (as part of our neglected tropical diseases [NTD] portfolio) that have been recommended by GiveWell and supported by funders including Founders Pledge and Giving What We Can. Given the effective altruism audience you're engaging with, that may be of particular interest. Working in partnership with governments, we support the delivery of deworming treatments to millions of school-aged children each year, helping to improve children's health, school attendance and educational outcomes. You can find out more here: https://www.sightsavers.org/how-to-help/governments-and-institutions/sightsavers-and-givewell/
EveryDrop is a really interesting and thoughtful approach to introducing new audiences to effective giving, and it's great to see such a strong mix of organisations and cause areas represented. To note, we'd be very happy to provide any supporting information, images or copy that might be useful for the app.
Best of luck with the launch, we'll be following with interest :)
