Philanthropy has historically been a driving force behind the key phases of the green transitions—from bringing down the costs of solar panels to turbocharging the development of batteries. For Australian climate philanthropists, the next big thing is decarbonising industrial emissions—globally. Giving Green found that investing in the decarbonisation of Australia’s industrial exports could be a highly promising philanthropic strategy. Australia's unique strengths—its vast solar and wind resources, abundant raw materials, and robust export market—position it to significantly reduce heavy industry emissions more cost-effectively than almost any other country. This strategy not only promises to transform Australia’s domestic heavy industry but also has the potential to slash a substantial portion of global industrial emissions through its exports. Join us for a live webinar as we dive deeper into our new findings and the subsequent search for highly effective nonprofits in this space. Register here: https://lnkd.in/edxRvyaT

Nearly half of all childhood stunting begins during pregnancy or the first six months of life—a critical period for nutrition. Jovina, a mother of four, tragically lost her one-year-old son, Blaise, to hydrocephalus, linked to malnutrition during pregnancy. Determined to make a change, Jovina learned home-based food processing techniques and began making fortified flour for her community. She formed the Glory 12 Women Group, and with Sanku's support, they installed a Dosifier for affordable flour fortification. Now, they produce enough flour to feed over 2,000 people daily.

Ending Hidden Hunger: Sanku's Solution to Combat Malnutrition 💡 What is a Dosifier Machine? A Dosifier machine is a device used to accurately dispense a specific amount of nutrient premix into flour during the milling process. This ensures that the flour is fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, addressing nutrient deficiencies. 🌿 How is Sanku using the Dosifier to help End Malnutrition? Sanku has used the Dosifier machine as part of its solution to combat malnutrition by fortifying flour with essential nutrients. By partnering with millers and providing them with Dosifier machines, Sanku has been able to reach millions of people with fortified flour, improving their nutritional intake and health. 🤝 How can you help? Sanku aims to nourish 30 million lives per day across East Africa by 2026, requiring additional support to scale country programs. By donating $50, you can provide 69 people with food-based micronutrient fortification for one year. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dBejau4x
