b) Global Giving :

https://www.globalgiving.org/


(both sites' projects look good, i can't really choose)

3. What I personally would do :

Donate to a specific project so we get a precise idea of where the money is going, and ask to see what our help really did, also a realistic goal can be established. (we can ask the charity how much they need for a certain project)
Any money over the goal can go to another project or another charity.



4. What i excluded :
Profitable Charities
Charities that don't have a 4 star rating on charitynavigator.org
Religion affiliated charities
Charities too politically involved
Charities that don't appeal to everybody (woman, lgbt etc. )
