I want to make some cash transfers to some of the poorest people. The main gang doing this seems to be givedirectly.org , a USAn charity

I might just use them, as that barely hardly counts as using a USAn product. (Not sure if they pay tax to the USA/Israel? Maybe they are exempt?)

But if there's an alternative outside that would be slightly preferable.

Some of these are good.

I don't trust Concern.

I’ve not looked into them too much, what’s concerning about them for you?

I see them in African cities with their nice air conditioned cars, living in basically in mansions partying with Digicel guys, having multiple local staff (cooks, drivers, etc). I don't want my money to go to making a 24-year-old sociology graduate from Foxrock comfortable. And they are not held accountable for that, because they can give a glossy impact statement every year to their donors.
