Here are the charities that are important to us!
Please donate as much as you would otherwise spend on a wedding gift. We hope you tell us how much you donated so we can know how much impact our celebration has had. Feel free to leave your name as well so we can thank you! But this is completely optional.
** GiveWell **
is an organization that spends a lot of time finding the most effective charities per dollar. It's primarily an international charity, but it tries to bring the most years of healthy life to people in need. They focus on Malaria, deworming projects, cash transfers and other high impact projects. Besides that, they also do great research on finding high impact charity organizations around the world. We're happy if you donate to any of the charities on their list, or to the organization itself!
https://secure.givewell.org/** Partners in Health **
works around the world for health equity for the poorest and most vulnerable. Their mission is defined by their founder, Paul Farmer: “The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.” Their work fights for the universal value of human life by working with communities to provide life saving care and advocating for social justice. This year has made us uniquely grateful for the quality of healthcare we receive as a citizen of a wealthy country. We could not safely get married at this time in most places around the world, which are still struggling with Covid-19 and lack access to vaccines because of financial inequity. We hope people will take our wedding as a time to celebrate life, and to support others to survive this pandemic, and to celebrate life as well.
