--Experience Poverty Fundraiser--
a global effective altruism fundraiser to alleviate poverty
What we will do: Get sponsored to eat for less than either $1.50/day (the global poverty line) or $2.50/day(what the median person spends on food), for 3 days (you can vary the length of time)
The dates: April 6-8 (you can vary these, but most people in EA groups around the world will be doing it around then)
The charity: The Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (de-worming; helps children in developing countries get healthy so they can do things like go to school)
