In this episode of Radio Free Roanoke’s Community Connections, host Heather Rose sits down with our Co-CEO Jessica La Mesa to explore how The Life You Can Save is transforming charitable giving through evidence and data.
Jessica discusses our rigorous charity evaluation process, the most effective interventions in health, education, and livelihoods across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, and how our three-sphere approach helps donors maximize their impact. She also shares the philosophy behind our work, including Peter Singer’s thought-provoking “Girl in the Pond” experiment, and reveals how strategic, evidence-based giving can multiply your impact up to 100 times compared to traditional charitable donations.
Whether you’re new to effective giving or looking to deepen your philanthropic strategy, this conversation offers practical insights into making every dollar count in the fight against extreme poverty.
Listen to the full interview to learn how you can save lives with your charitable giving.
Thank you to Heather for hosting on Radio Free Roanoke Community Communications.
