Help Those Living in Extreme Poverty

EH Active’s philanthropy goals are aligned with the goals of The Life You Can Save that was co-founded by Charlie Bresler (the founder of EH Active also). The idea is to offer donors, well-researched, high impact, cost-effective nonprofits that save lives and/or empower livelihoods for people living in poverty in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. EH Active looks to encourage both effective philanthropy and a community that supports exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle — the idea is feel good, do good.

During each challenge we will support a nonprofit that has been carefully vetted by The Life You Can Save. We hope our members will donate and we will also encourage others as well. But feel free to support any of The Life You Can Save's nonprofits – and, of course, others that you feel are highly impactful and cost-effective. Our hope is that the community will encourage everyone to consider donating to the selected nonprofit during each “challenge.”

Can you think of a better use for your money?
