Donating 10% to the Against Malaria Foundation
For the last decade or so I have pledged to donate at least 10% of my income to charitable causes, and my work as a freelancer will be no different.
As 'Chobble' that 10% will go to the Against Malaria Foundation who represent one of the best value for money ways of saving lives - they buy insecticide-treated nets for people to sleep under, with an average cost of just $5,500 per life saved.
(You can search for me - Stefan Burke - on their list of sponsors to see my previous donations)
I am not sharing this to brag - plenty of people donate much more than me or work in harder jobs than mine, on the front lines of care.
But my dad often told me - and studies agree - that you should not be shy about your donations to good causes. Being vocal encourages others to chip in.
So if you can spare a percentage of your income, please consider donating it to an effective charity!
