About the Company

Evidence Action

Non-profit scaling evidence-based health interventions

Evidence Action reduces poverty and improves health by scaling proven, cost-effective interventions in low-income regions. Its programs include Deworm the World, which works with governments to run national school-based deworming programs, and Dispensers for Safe Water, which installs chlorine dispensers at rural water sources to provide safe drinking water. The organization supports governments, communities, and other nonprofits by delivering programs that have been rigorously evaluated for impact and cost efficiency, relying on charitable donations, grants, and partnerships to fund scaling. Unlike groups that offer generic aid, Evidence Action emphasizes evidence-based results and tight use of resources to achieve measurable improvements. The goal is to reach millions more people with proven health and poverty-reduction interventions and to demonstrate clear, scalable impact.
