A rigorous survey of what the current possible carbon sequestration tech and methods would be really helpful. Another organization might already have this survey done, but I haven't seen anything online (in my admittedly trivial searc…
I think preventive care in general is a great area to dive into, and this seems like a good place to start.
There are many areas that third-world citizen can tap into and work remotely: Programming, Community Management, Writing, Design, Translation...

Enabling technologies for improving quality of life and economic opportunity in the developing world, in a way that doesn't require large capital outflow or aid-based investing. EG, low cost renewable power generation, labor reducing tools for agriculture, water purification and management, sewage handling, computing, local manufacturing, etc.
