Honestly, the most immediate effect you could have is to donate cash, food or clothing. Because those are real, immediate needs. So find some way to do that effectively (as possible, anyway). The closer you physically are the more of your donation is likely to make it to where it's needed. Backing away from immediate needs, some suggestions: - Work for a relevant NGO that needs your skills. - Work for a relevant government agency that needs your skills. - Work to eliminate the need to get on a smuggler's boat to make the first crossing. - Work to make the land crossing safer and more predictable. Those last two are obviously impossible for you, who works as a system administrator. So if you're a relevant constituent in one of the relevant countries, contact your representative or whatever you call it there, and politely hold their feet to the fire.
