Do you know of a charity where your donations go DIRECTLY to families in Africa or the Middle East?
mukrous asked:
I’d like to start donating money to a charity that focuses on Africa or the Middle East but want to make sure that the money I donate is accounted for and goes directly to the family. My friend in Denmark contributes to a charity where the sponsor child and family writes to tell you what the money was spent on. Does something like this exist in the US, and is it credible? Thanks
I am a member of a religious community of sisters who bring sisters from African communities, (Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, etc.) here to our college in order to help them get prepared to return and help the people where they live and work. We do this, the education, room and board, at our own expense in order to empower educators and health care workers from these countries and make them more capable of serving in their native countries. We depend on the generosity of donors to help us supply the needs of the women while they are here. So I can guarantee that if you send a donation to sponsor one of our native students the money will go ONLY to that purpose and none other. Whatever you decide, I affirm your desire to be of assistance to our brothers and sisters who truly need our help.
If you are interested, email me and I will be happy to give you particulars as to names, addresses, etc.

Maybe you could ask your friend in Denmark what the name of the organization he is with is and see if you can find an American equivalent.
SOS children’s villages generally have a good reputation, you can find more information about it on these websites:
The next link is for one of the most well-known organizations that will allow you to sponsor a child and also write / receive letters.
I tried googling on this, and one of the websites that came up was this:
Good luck with your worthy endeavor.
