OUR APPROACH
Choosing which problems to address has been the most important decision we have made. We focus on causes that are neglected, yet vital, and where small efforts can make the greatest difference. Since access to the work location and ongoing assessment of progress are important for guiding decisions, we have limited our initial projects to the ancestral villages of Velangi and Aragonda in Andhra Pradesh, India.
We remain certain that resources should be allocated across multiple overlapping causes for the best impact. Our strategy includes both immediate, evidence-based interventions that save lives today and opportunities that could take decades to pay off.
Every individual has intrinsic value regardless of their origin or views. Animal suffering is a moral concern. These beliefs have driven us to undertake and fund work that others may find unconventional.
Our approach will continue to evolve as we learn from our own experience and from other philanthropists. We strive to show our reasoning, name our assumptions, and remain open to changing our minds as evidence evolves.
