Pure Earth works on reducing lead exposure in low- and middle-income countries


We support ideas and institutions that make the world safer, healthier, and more prosperous for all. We’ve researched hundreds of causes and chosen our focus areas based on where we think more funding will help others the most.

This has led us to a diverse portfolio of causes, from proven programs that save lives in low-income countries and reduce animal suffering, to ambitious bets on potentially transformative innovations. We’re committed to using the best evidence we can find and approaching our work with rigor, curiosity, and compassion.
