We are pleased to announce that the crowd-sourcing philanthropy site, Altruist, has featured PHC as its charity for February!
“When it comes to improving the health of the poor in developing countries, many people think of basic food donations such as bags of rice and flour. But what if you could make that same food more nutritious?” Altruist goes on to state that “Project Healthy Children focuses on increasing the micronutrient content of food to solve the problem of malnutrition with food fortification. They not only fortify foods, but a key component of their work is aiding governments and the industry in establishing programs that are self-sustaining — thus allowing them to celebrate the day they leave a country, not the day they arrive. Read Q & A with Project Healthy Children to learn more about how this team of dedicated individuals is helping to end malnutrition”.
Altruist’s goal is to make giving easy, effective, and accessible to as many people as possible. Members of Altruist donate $1/month to the new, hand-picked non-profit with 100% of donations going to the organization. After finding PHC profiled through The Life You Can Save, they were hooked!
In addition to donations from members, Altruist’s growing network of partners made up of businesses have committed to donating $1 from the sale of select goods and services to the monthly non-profit.
Previously featured Altruist organizations include the International Rescue Committee (IRC), MAPS, Against Malaria Foundation, and the Seva Foundation.
We are grateful to Altruist for this honor and encouraged that 2015 will be one of the most productive years for PHC!
