Who is doing the most good in the world, and how? (kbin.social)

My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world? I'm particularly interested in those who manage to do good on a larger impact scale (quantity or quality), but if the unknown person on your street who fosters kittens is a great example, I'd love to hear about them too.

Mr. Rogers told me to look for the helpers in times of trouble. Tell me about your favorite helpers!

I'm amazed they let him do weekly donations. Isn't it typically every 6 for typical whole-blood donations? I get he's got special blood, but I'm surprised it would be that frequent compared to "normal" people

I'm sure the doctors know what they are doing since they have been doing it for 60 years.
