Understandable— many things in EA can feel counter-intuitive at first! It’s entirely possible that there are charities/​cases where it’s cheaper to prevent a disability, but it’d take some significant research to establish that.
Yes I’ve seen charities like iodized salt however I like against malaria foundation specifically because it’s one of if not the only effective altruist charity where I can track my donation and see my individual impact about where my nets are going.
