    Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $1,900,000 to UC Berkeley to support work led by Amy Pickering to develop and evaluate low-cost in-line water chlorination devices. Such devices could improve drinking water quality in low-resource settings and lessen the burden of diarrheal disease.

    This follows our October 2020 support and falls within our work on scientific research, specifically within our interest in advancing human health and wellbeing.
