The other day I watched this heartbreaking video about Burundi, the world’s poorest country. Have you thought about doing some sort of giveaway there?
GiveDirectly doesn’t seem to operate in Burundi, so you might have to get creative. But getting creative could also make the video more interesting for your audience :-)
For example, instead of cash, perhaps you could offer “your choice out of the following X items”. That would preserve the spirit of recipient-directed giving, collect interesting data, and make for an interesting Youtube video.
More generally, are you interested in video suggestions from people in the EA community, and if so what’s the best way to get in touch? If you’re interested, perhaps we could do a dedicated Beast Philanthropy video brainstorming thread here on the Forum :-)
