Thanks for pointing it out. It should work now. I had put the https twice on my profile. Is there anything else you may need to verify my authenticity? I will be glad to do that.

I had an 80000 hours meeting recently and part of the suggestion was to make my post more like a tl:dr post. Not everyone reads long post.

I am not a scam, if you need proof I will show you proofs. I am just a desperate person facing extinction of my research project of several years that just needs help. I hope you see it that way.

Just to add, just because is coming from Nigeria doesn’t make it a scam too. We are not all scammers in this country

I only tagged to highlight my post

Hi Rick, it’s great to connect with you! I have a few questions and would really appreciate hearing your perspective on them.

1. Given that I haven’t yet had much success in securing substantial support for my phage-related projects, what strategies would you recommend for balancing the trade-off between relying on major funders and building a network of smaller donors, especially in niche fields like phage therapy research?

2. Could you suggest effective ways to uncover what truly motivates funders, particularly those who might be interested in high-impact, emerging biomedical solutions? This insight would be invaluable in refining my approach for phage therapy projects.

3. Based on your experience with EA organizations, what are some common fundraising mistakes to avoid when pitching early-stage, high-risk research? I’m particularly keen to understand where others might have gone wrong, as I work to gain support for my own phage research.

4. How can I tap into the knowledge and expertise of existing funders to strengthen both my research and fundraising efforts? Additionally, are there effective ways to work with current funders to identify potential new funding sources within the global health sector?

⁩ Thanks for your comment . Here is the breakdown Solar Power System Cost Breakdown

•	Lithium Ion batteries (20kWh): 4,600,000 NGN
•	Hybrid inverter (16kVA): 1,800,000 NGN
•	Solar cells: 1,000,000 NGN
•	Cables: 72,000 NGN
•	Installation: 500 USD (800,000 NGN at 1600 NGN/USD)

•	Total in NGN: 8,272,000 NGN
•	Total in USD: 5,170 USD (at 1600 NGN/USD)

I just hope so too, its been 6 consecutive days. Our isolates are at risk.

Interestingly, there has been a large scale blockout in my entire state for 5 consecutive days now. My research project is ag stake, all the phages we stored and isolated is at stake.

This another aspect of a possible impact of a large scale blackout. Its impact on years of research is not known.

I agree with you. Animal Welfare efforts expansion needs to take this into consideration especially in LMICs. What are the incentives for switching to a cage-free system?

I quite agree, animal welfare is not a thing here in Nigeria. It will take more than just advocacy to achieve a cage-free farming and an improved animal welfare. So my thinking is, offer support to those who want to transition to cage-free systems. Who offsets their investment?

I will comment based on my personal experience as a small-scale poultry farmer. Due to space limitations, I chose to use the battery cage system for egg production. Ideally, I would have preferred a cage-free system, but the cost of building such infrastructure was beyond my reach. While it is unfortunate, this highlights the challenges many farmers face. When advocating for improved animal welfare, it is essential to understand these constraints and provide education, as well as financial support, to help farmers transition to more humane and sustainable practices."

This version clarifies your experience, emphasizes the difficulty of transitioning to better systems, and focuses on the need for both education and funding to drive change.

So typically, anytime I have malaria, the struggle is which malaria drug works at that time. Sometimes, you need to take anti malaria drug twice to get solution. I know people that now use chloroquine
