Global health and wellbeing

Supporting people around the world who are living in poverty or suffering from preventable disease

Why Global Health and Wellbeing Matters


Global health initiatives address some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity—such as infectious diseases, malnutrition, and maternal health. By investing in high-impact interventions, we can vastly reduce suffering and save lives at a relatively low cost. For instance, providing malaria nets or essential vaccinations can prevent thousands of deaths, particularly in low-income regions where these resources are scarce.

Why We’ve Chosen Global Health and Wellbeing


Global health programs often have a proven track record, supported by rigorous data and cost-effectiveness research. This evidence-based approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to effective giving, allowing us to direct funds where they generate the greatest good. By focusing on evidence-backed strategies—like targeted disease prevention, improved healthcare infrastructure, and nutrition programs—we can meaningfully uplift communities and empower individuals to thrive. Our goal is to ensure that every euro donated has a tangible, measurable impact on people’s lives, making global health and wellbeing a vital cause area for Effective Giving Ireland.
