Recently I read an interesting article about effective altruism. Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that applies evidence and reason to determine the most effective ways to benefit others. For example that it seems better instead of spending USD 5.000 for an electric wheelchair to use it for 25 operations of blind children in a developing country and give them sight back. The idea of effective altruism reflects in the direct donation network as it uses the internet to be able to to donate directly to poor people that are far away. The development of the direct donation network seems to be a good investment of time and funds in terms of effective altruism.
