The first step in our review process for any international charity is a website review. We investigated Hookworm Vaccine Initiative but found they were ineligible for our review because of one of the following reasons:
- Scope - the charity's program was outside the scope of areas we planned to cover (e.g., slavery, refugees, orphans and other abandoned children) or focused on research or advocacy as opposed to direct provision of services.
- Cannot donate - the charity does not accept donations from individual donors. This applied also to organizations that had existed, but no longer do or initiatives run by for-profit companies.
- No website - the charity has no active website. This includes organizations whose only website was non-English.
- Too small - the charity's previous year's expenses were less than $200,000.
