Good health and wellbeing
​Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
We search for the charities that save or improve lives the most per dollar. We spend thousands of hours each year reviewing academic evidence and researching different programs to identify the most cost-effective, evidence-backed ones.
We focus on finding and directing funding to a small number of outstanding giving opportunities to help donors save or improve lives the most with their gifts.

We aim to be highly cost-effective at using donor funds to prevent illness and avoid deaths from malaria.
We do this in three ways:
First, we have a clear focus on a specific intervention, anti-malaria bednets, and particularly long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Anti-malaria bednets reduce illness and prevent deaths. This means the potential impact on lives saved and health improved per dollar donated is high.
Second, we have an operating model that has proved highly effective: a lean organisational structure, significant leveraging of technology and a pro bono partnership and distribution partner model. This means our costs are exceptionally low.
Third, we place great emphasis on the preparation, carrying out and follow up of distributions to ensure the potential impact of distributing nets is realised. We report on this transparently and in detail.

Alcohol causes 108 million DALYs (4.3% of the Global Disease Burden) a year and 2.8 million deaths. The World Health Organization has identified alcohol taxation as one of the best-buys to reduce alcohol related harm. Our preliminary cost-effectiveness analysis also suggests our intervention has the potential to be highly cost-effective with less than $ 100 per DALY averted.
Although the magnitude of this problem and its solution is known, many countries do not have (modern/updated) taxation systems for alcohol in place. This is what CAPS aims to change.
