    INTERVIEW: The 'effective altruist' who gave up his kidney

    07/10/2026 | 19 mins.
    How far would you go to help people you have never met?
    Would you commit to giving away a proportion of your income for the rest of your life or even donate a kidney?
    Hu Pennington has done both in the name of "effective altruism" — a social movement centred around positive impact and charity.
    In this chat with Dave, Hu explains why he decided to give his kidney to a stranger, and how his family reacted when he told them.
