Poor people in Kenya supported by Give Directly have an average individual consumption of $800 annually, which is a significantly higher impact compared to the US due to cost differences. An average US college graduate's post-tax income is $54,500 yearly, indicating that a dollar donated in Kenya can do about 68 times more good compared to spending it locally. If someone at this income level donates 10%, they could double the annual income of seven individuals in extreme poverty each year, potentially impacting hundreds of people over their career.
