“What if you could save someone in West Africa from developing river blindness for $0.75? Or keep a child from dying of hunger in Sudan’s civil war for $14/week? Or help a first grader here in the US get glasses to finally see the board, for $150?" Read more: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/o...

$75 to @helenkellerintl.org provides medication to protect 100 people across Africa from neglected tropical diseases, which cause blindness, disability, and lost opportunities. Because of their work, 110M people are no longer at risk. Help continue the progress: www.kristofimpact.org

Thank you, readers! My holiday giving guide has raised $39.3 million for three remarkable nonprofits in the last month. Reader donations are matched by @bloombergdotorg.bsky.social -- so if you're looking to push back at the darkness, visit KristofImpact.org and join our effort.

2025 Honoree @helenkellerintl.org's mass drug administration programs are helping protect entire countries from infectious blindness and disability for the average cost of 75 cents per person. Learn why it's vital not to let the dismantling of USAID undo remarkable progress in this video.

A quarter of children naturally need glasses, but in low-income communities in the US, the majority of kids who need glasses don't have them. Watch the video below to see how 2025 honoree @visiontolearn.bsky.social is closing this gap with mobile clinics that bring eye care to schools.

There is still time to multiply your impact, check the comments! Join @kristofimpact.bsky.social’s #HolidayImpactPrize today!✨ helenkellerintl.org/kristofimpact/
