We haven't found all the good, cheap ideas yet
Just imagine the tremendous good that a $2 water filter that lasted a year could do.. Not only is saving lives good in and of itself, but lowering mortality can be a powerful tool against extreme poverty. longer life expectancy means that the return of education is higher. It also means that families can have far fewer children, but still prosper. Since fewer children means more educational opportunities for women, this too unleashes more of a society's potential.
