4X your donation to malnourished children!

Raised
$2,450
Goal
$10,000

Inspired by High Impact Athletes, I'm running the Berlin Marathon on September 21st. A generous donor has committed to a 4X match to all funds raised up to $10,000 before the race day. That means that your $1K donation would unlock $4K in additional funding! Help me hit my goal and help children suffering from severe and acute malnutrition.

Taimaka has redesigned malnutrition treatment so that it can save more lives. Operating in northern Nigeria to serve children with severe and acute malnutrition, their model drops the average cost per child treated to just $94 (a more than 50% reduction). They do it by working through community health workers (CHWs) – rather than doctors and nurses – and leveraging cutting-edge public health research. They equip their CHWs with a digital tool to triage children, ensuring world-class quality of care. They estimate it costs between $1,500 - $4,500 to save a life with their treatment program.

For folks worried about counterfactuals, this is a "true match," and any funding raised would not otherwise be granted to the organization 😊 If we raise $10K, we can unlock a total of $40K, potentially saving up to 33 lives!
