🤝 How do you get the Gates Foundation to take you seriously? Céline shares the real strategy behind landing major funding:

→ Start with learning, not asking for money
→ Build genuine relationships through regular mentoring calls
→ Attend conferences to meet funders face-to-face
→ Let them get to know your work over time

After 9-10 months of monthly calls focused on learning from Gates' expertise in family planning, they invited Lafiya to submit a proposal. Her advice is approaching such opportunities as a partnership, not a pitch.

Cold emails are tough - warm introductions and in-person connections work much better.

💊 Want to get kids in Kenya to go to school? Your first instinct might be scholarships, books, or uniforms. But Nobel Prize winner Michael Kremer analyzed hundreds of studies and found something surprising:

Deworming pills are 100x more cost-effective than scholarships.

Why? Many kids have intestinal worms that make them too sick to learn. Treating the root cause - illness - removes the biggest barrier to education.

This shows why evidence-based giving matters.

🧠 Why aren't we more worried about AI risks?

Joep Meindertsma explains our cognitive blind spot:
Our brains react to tigers and loud noises, but struggle with abstract, exponential threats. Even when the inventors of AI themselves - Geoffrey Hinton, Joshua Bengio, and Ilya Sutskever (the three most cited AI researchers) - warn about existential risks, we dismiss these concerns.

We're wired to fear immediate, visible dangers but not slow-building exponential curves. This cognitive limitation might be our biggest challenge in preparing for advanced AI.

Are we equipped to handle threats our brains weren't designed to perceive?

In Nigeria, 1 in 22 women face a lifetime risk of dying during pregnancy or childbirth. Many of these deaths stem from unintended pregnancies and lack of access to family planning resources.

When women have the choice and agency to plan their families, lives are saved. Organisations working on maternal health and family planning access can have profound impact in regions like Nigeria.

Research shows these deaths are largely preventable with proper healthcare and family planning support.
