Watsi

Watsi is a San Francisco-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit crowdfunding platform that lets donors directly fund surgeries and medical care for patients in low-income countries, working through vetted medical partners across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Founded in 2011 and the first nonprofit funded by Y Combinator, Watsi has directed more than $20 million to patient healthcare. Watsi previously published a read-only JSON API at developers.watsi.org, but that developer portal and api.watsi.org no longer resolve, so no public API surface is currently available.

Watsi is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Nonprofit, Healthcare, Crowdfunding, and Donations.

Watsi’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 7 more developer resources.
