Both SCI and DtWI work with governments on deworming, but while SCI works on creating or scaling up these programs DtWI works on making existing programs better. Because they work on different problems, have different sized staffs, and have different projects underway, they need different amounts of money. GiveWell is recommending an allocation of “$5 to AMF, $1 to SCI, $1 to GiveDirectly and $.50 to DtWI for every $7.50 given” and Good Ventures is mostly following this.
Good Ventures granted $3M to SCI but only $250k to DtWI. Why such a big difference?
