There are a few causes that have the potential to do lots of good in the world per dollar spent. Global poverty is a problem that is:
-Neglected (so there are lots of low-hanging fruit)
-Large-scale (billions are affected by it)
-Progress is easy to measure
We'll talk about the problem, what some of the most effective solutions are and which organisations seem to be doing the best work towards improving the conditions of the poorest people on the planet.
