I love the idea of Watsi. I do wish they would, tastefully of course, take a page from CharityWater's playbook and highlight better the impact your money creates. Also is it like charity water in which my donation goes to the cause 100%? or are the funds going to support watsi ops? (I'm ok with either, but would prefer transparency this day in age).
The donate a birthday Idea could be pushed further. I've given up my birthday a bunch on charity water, raised thousands that way. I'd like to see "I'm giving up my birthday so we can get Maria in honduras a new kidney" or something along those lines.
anyway sorry for the rant.

- TorKlingberg 10y agoSince we are already linking GiveWell, claiming administration costs are paid separately is just an accounting trick. http://blog.givewell.org/2009/12/07/robin-hood-smile-train-and-the-0-overhead-donor-illusion/ http://blog.givewell.org/2009/12/07/robin-hood-smile-train-a... Donors shouldn't obsess about the overhead ratio anyway, as the link explains.
