Evidence Action scales low-cost health interventions that improve the wellbeing of hundreds of millions of people in Africa and Asia. The organization currently has four programs: Safe Water Now, Deworm the World, Equal Vitamin Access, and Syphilis-Free Start. Evidence Action’s Accelerator drives new program development, refining high-potential and cost-effective interventions.
Their demonstrated impact includes:
- Providing access to safe drinking water, which has saved more than 15,000 lives of children under 5 and averted over 3 million diarrhea cases in young children.
- Helping governments deliver over 2 billion deworming treatments in the last decade, which is estimated to produce $23B in productivity gains.
- Reaching over 515 million people globally with interventions since their founding.
