Aiding The Needy Through Charities And Foundations
Both charities and foundations aim to alleviate poverty-related problems in communities and poor countries. Anybody with spare money and extra goods and resources should consider donating to these.

One problem that people often encounter when thinking of donating is choosing the charitable institutions through which to channel their aid. So think for a minute on which problems you find yourself most drawn to, as there are various causes on which these institutions focus.
One particularly pressing concern is disaster relief. Year in and year out, lots of places in the world, developed or not, are hit by natural disasters like flooding, earthquakes, and severe storms. Saving lives is most immediate here.
Another focus could be language training and education in general. Many poor countries don’t have enough teachers or government support to fulfill this need. More than financial help are books and other relevant schooling materials that you can supply to forward global literacy.
Helping inhabitants of war-torn countries could also be your priority. People living there, as well as fleeing refugees, go through great hardships and are often deprived of basic needs like food, water, and clothing.
One could, of course, focus on more localized issues. There might be people in your own community with pressing needs. Study emerging or existing problems by visiting your local government offices or consulting with parishes. In the end, whichever charity you choose, the important thing is your willingness to help.
