I”ve stopped giving to charity and starting lending money via Kiva.org. I prefer it because 1) It”s sustainable. You get your capital back and can help the next person, and 2) you”re helping people develop businesses that will support the growth of their local economy. Charity can be inefficient with sometimes as little as 9% of your money actually going to the those in need and 91% going to admin costs. With services like Kiva, more like 80% of your money goes directly to the person seeking it. Not saying all charities are bad, just the more I learned the more I realized it”s often not the best way to help people.
