Think Humanity

Published: August 10, 2012

Summary

Think Humanity works with refugees in Africa to fight malaria, provide clean water, and offer other aid.1 We considered Think Humanity for an in-depth evaluation because it reports conducting monitoring surveys and finding promising results,2 and because it distributes insecticide-treated nets, a priority program.

After corresponding with Think Humanity representatives and reviewing their financial statements, we decided not to prioritize further research on them because of their small size (total revenue of $99,346 in 2011).3

    "A survey and project retrospective follows each distribution. A survey was conducted in September 2009 in Kyangwali Refugee Camp and the results of the survey showed a 88 percent reduction in incidences of malaria. Mosquito nets were distributed in the Acholi Quarter Camp July 2010. A survey was conducted in January 2011 and the results of the survey showed a 93 percent reduction in incidences of malaria.” Think Humanity, “Program Meds and Nets.”
