Watsi

Watsi is a non-profit organization that operates a crowdfunding platform dedicated to healthcare, enabling individuals to directly fund medical care for patients in developing countries who cannot afford treatment. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, Watsi transfers all funds raised directly to patients, ensuring that the contributions go toward their medical needs. The organization covers its operational costs separately, allowing donors to see the full impact of their generosity. Through automatic monthly donations, supporters receive updates on the patients they assist, including introductions and progress reports following treatment. Watsi’s mission is to facilitate life-changing medical care for underserved populations, fostering a sense of community and support among donors and patients alike.
