That's it - I'm officially declaring the Lead Exposure Elimination Project the most awesome charity start-up of 2024. On track to save literally millions of kids. Go @C_Don7, @luciacoulter and team! 🚀
One of Open Philanthropy’s goals is to collaborate more often with other funders. Today, we’re excited to announce our biggest collaboration to date – the Lead Exposure Action Fund (LEAF).
Lead exposure causes an estimated 1.5 million deaths each year. But until recently, total donor funding for the problem was only about $15 million/year – less than 1% of what goes toward other neglected health challenges like tuberculosis or malaria.
Thanks to our generous partners, LEAF will be able to allocate at least $104 million between now and 2027. We estimate this will roughly double donor funding for this issue.

Did you know that the #EggHub model can effectively address egg deficiency at scale?🥚
⚠️ But first, we need to address cultural beliefs, food taboos or actual myths that might hinder getting eggs to those who need them the most.
Listen to the rich insights of Maya Stewart and @srujith in our episode on setting up the Egg Hub:

Last week, we opened a new facility in Bishoftu, Ethiopia 🇪🇹🎊
It will test and evaluate poultry feed for quality control, research on better feed composition, and help detect and prevent disease outbreak in birds. 🐓
This research center aims to: 🔬
1️⃣ Reduce bird mortality, improve egg quality 🥚
2️⃣ Increase farmer productivity and incomes 🧑🏾🌾💰
Many thanks to our partners @CIFFchild, Alema farms and @SNVEthiopia, and huge congrats to our very own SAL Team Ethiopia for the SAL-ALEMA Poultry Research Center! 👏🏾

SAL #EggHub is now operational in Ethiopia, with fresh and quality eggs being produced at partner farms. This intervention will slowly improve both nutrition and livelihood status of the community.
This is not a live event, it's a life event.
So proud of @SightandLife ET team!
Was a pleasure to meet and work with @dr_zelalem for #IMNHC2023 and glad to have met State Minister, Program, MoH Ethiopia, Dr Dereje. Government belief and support for MMS is crucial. We're glad for Ethiopia's progressive initiatives in bringing health equity for pregnant women.
"Sight and Life has decades of experience in supply readiness, demand generation and business modelling for MMS. We are looking to support regional production hubs now. @srujith on SAL's work on MMS. #IMNHC2023
