So in Peter Singer’s The Life You can Save, he mentions one way to be an EA is activating for increased GDP investment in humanitarian aid.

So I created this website (wordpress and d3) to try to convince people to call their representatives on the topic, espically in regards to WFP and UNICEF

I image the WFP and UNICEF may not be the most effective NGO’s, but they still do good work, and they seem better then the for-profits like Chemonics that get most of the USA federal funding.

I do plan to expand on the Fustula Foundation, which does get a little bit of federal funding and is on Singer’s list as a effective organization.

If anyone has ideas on improvements, please let me know. Honestly, people don’t seem that interested when I tell them about it, so I know there’s room for improvement!
