A recent article from Your World in Data explains what makes charities effective: simply put, they can do a lot with relatively little money. According to external evaluation, “Charities that achieve [a high] level of cost-effectiveness do quite different things [but] they have two things in common. They all focus on the world’s poorest people, which makes sense as $1,000 makes a much larger difference to someone who has very little. They also all tend to focus on causes that don’t receive much public attention. That makes sense, too — for the causes that receive the most attention, all the lowest-hanging fruits have already been picked.”
BHP uses all donations to support its health care and education activities in Bangladesh, mostly in an impoverished agricultural district in the country’s north-west. In addition to making program contributions for teacher salaries and equipment, BHP Directors pay for BHP overhead costs and for their own travel expenses to oversee the projects. This means that your donations are spent entirely in Bangladesh. Please contact us for more information or donate directly through Canada Helps.
