Our history
The Life You Can Save was founded by Melbourne-born Peter Singer, widely recognized as one of the world’s most influential contemporary philosophers, to advance the ideas in his 2009 book The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty. In it, Peter argues that if we can provide immense benefit to someone at minimal cost to ourselves, we should do so. In 2019, we worked with Peter to launch the 10th Anniversary Edition – The Life You Can Save. This fully updated book is available for free download as a celebrity-narrated audiobook here.
