But Effective altruism means different things in different countries. If the ‘give to developing countries charities’ EA meme just doesn’t work in one country and some other does, ‘give to the most effective charity working within the country’ for example, then that’s the most effective thing you can do there.
This is a very good idea and I was already planning on moving on that direction with EA in Spanish. I researched many charities and giving opportunities in Latin America. Unfortunately, I didn’t find many exceptional ones, though there are some organizations that are decent enough.
I was about to start talking about charities in Latin America when I decided to stop the project for the moment. This had to do with the fact that I considered that the project was not very worthwhile, as I mentioned on the text, but also because I lacked a full dedicated team to work with me. We were a few people working on our spare time on this, and most of us were busy with other EA activities.
If I start the project again sometime (with a larger team, more time and funding), I will definitely start promoting the best local charities of each country, among many other things.
Thanks :)
