RC Forward Global Health Fund

RC Forward is soliciting contributions to its Global Health Fund to cost-effectively save lives, reduce morbidity, and improve outcomes for some of the poorest and most marginalized people in the world. Your contributions in this fund will be allocated based on the advice of GiveWell, and will support the work of Canadian charities implementing cost-effective, high-impact global health projects.

RC Forward Animal Welfare Fund

RC Forward is soliciting contributions to its Animal Welfare Fund to improve the lives of as many animals as possible, be they in factory farms or in the wild. Your contributions in this fund will be allocated based on the advice of Animal Charity Evaluators, and will support the work of Canadian charities implementing impactful or promising animal welfare projects.

Antimalarial bednet distribution

RC Forward is soliciting contributions to protect people in African countries from malaria by funding long-lasting insecticidal bednets. Malaria kills around 400,000 people every year and causes illness in over 200 million. Malaria is preventable, and nets are a proven intervention–each net costs under $3 CAD, lasts for 3 to 4 years, and protects on average 2 people. This work is undertaken by the Against Malaria Foundation, a Canadian charity.

Mass deworming programs

RC Forward is soliciting contributions for a project to support drug distribution efforts to protect communities in African countries from parasitic worm infections. These infections affect over 1 billion people in marginalized communities, and can lead to child development issues, reduced school attendance, productivity, and increased HIV risk in women. Treating school-age children and at-risk adults early and regularly is safe and effective. This project to improve global health is a project of CAF Canada.

Improving farming practices on fish farms

RC Forward is soliciting contributions for a project to advance animal welfare on fish farms in India by improving farming practices. An estimated 73-180 billion fish are farmed each year around the world, often in very poor conditions. By improving welfare practices, this project will help fish live better lives, and help farmers have less volatile farming practices. This project to promote the welfare of animals is a project of CAF Canada.

Reducing iodine deficiency 

RC Forward is soliciting contributions to reduce iodine deficiency globally in children and adults. This work is undertaken by the Iodine Global Network. It aims to reduce iodine deficiency globally by advocating for national salt iodization programs, tracking progress on iodization, and providing global and country-specific guidance on related programmatic and scientific issues.

Cash transfers sent directly to people in extreme poverty

RC Forward is soliciting contributions to relieve poverty by sending money directly to the people who need it most. Using mobile money technology, cash will be sent directly to recipients in Rwanda who are experiencing extreme poverty. With your support, the first stage of this project alone will reach an estimated 1,700 recipients with a ~$700 one-time cash transfer. Based on past research, these transfers will have a measurable positive impact not only for the recipients, but also for many of their families and communities. Recipients are empowered to spend the transfer however they see best. Immediate improvements are expected in nutrition, housing, health, sanitation, business outcomes, and educational enrolment. This is a project of CAF Canada, carried out in partnership with trusted implementers chosen based on their track record and proven impact.
