Think Humanity works with refugees in Africa to fight malaria, care for orphaned children, and provide 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.

We emailed Think Humanity to request full details on survey methods and findings, but we did not receive a response. We therefore do not believe that it is a strong contender for our top ratings.

  "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.”
