If so where might one find them? I have to make an educated decision soon and I'd appreciate the input. Yemen is on my heart, that's a brutal famine but I don't know any Christian charities on the ground that I can get behind.
I've been through the Charity navigator pages but find them very misleading to the point I question who runs them.
I'm not trying to run down the good work done by charities with high paying salaries, I believe in a wage for any job - a working wage. But surely someone who just wants a huge wage from a 'charity' yet knows how far a dollar goes in poor countries - is in the wrong line of work or their heart isn't in it?
I just get frustrated looking at the many of them realising I'd have to raise a few million just to pay all the Execs and board members - when the individual projects themselves depending on the country - only cost a few thousand.
I wonder how many people would donate if it was pitched 'we're collecting for Bob's Malibu holiday home and the kids on the streets'.
