How about an alternative ? Actually visit Africa. Look at what UNICEF is doing there and how. Never give a dime to them again and know you're doing the world a favour. Visit New York, see where most of UNICEF's money is being spent and how, talk to them if you can. Note the car they're driving, ask who their dad is, and where they live. Suppress the feeling to shoot them. Give to an organization that isn't focused on money and would never in a million years pay off dictators, doesn't use external people/materials to build it's buildings, teaches local people instead of handing out stuff, builds hospitals, actually maintains contact, and is extremely, extremely reluctant to just solve problems with money. Frankly, give to the church (one of the big ones), if you want to help African children. And yes I've seen the luxury of the Vatican, the luxury the pope is surrounded with, it's not enough to get my blood boiling, and most people there are actually dedicated to either the museums or communication with the churches around the world - both of which I find worthy causes. UNICEF - giving money to dictators if they hurt children. And a cushy job to the kids of their posse.
