The 10 richest men in the world must give 100 billion $ to save millions of lives
The 10 richest men in the world must give 100 billion $ to save millions of lives
The Issue
The math has never been simpler: a few men own unthinkable amounts of money while hundred of millions of people are dying and suffering. This needs to change now.
In 2019:
More than 700 million human beings are still living in conditions of extreme poverty
Billions of people are at risk for contracting life-threatening endemic diseases
57 millions children of primary school age aren’t enrolled in any kind of school program at all
7,500 children under five die each day
783 million people do not have access to clean water
2,5 billion people have no water-based sanitation ressources
In the mean time:
Studies estimate the cost to save a life at approximatively 2500$
The ten richest men in the world combined represent a fortune of roughly 750 billion $
We want them to give immediately 100 billion dollars to the most effective charities
These charities are evaluated and listed by Effective Altruism organizations such as The Life You Can Save, Give Well or Giving What We Can. Their efficiency has been controlled and measured. Every day, they make a difference. With (a lot) more money, they can make even greater changes.
Namely: Against Malaria Foundation; DMI; D-Rev; Evidence Action; Fistula Foundation; Fred Hollows; GiveDirectly; Gain; Helen Keller International; IPA; Iodine Global Network; Living Goods; Malaria Consortium; One Acre Fund; Oxfam; PSI; Possible; Sanku-Project Healthy Children; SCI; seva.org; Village Entreprise; Zusha.
If they manage to combine for a 100 billion $ donation, they will remain among the richest people in the world, yet they will have saved millions of lives.
What else is there to say?
