Ok so I know of a group of children who a Christian is helping to manage take care of educate and bring to Christ. I told him I would be happy to help I said I could buy some of the stuff they need when I asked him what they needed he said They need books, bags, blankets, food, and other study materials and proper building to look after them

I don't have much money but I am going to give what little I have and I wanted to help them even further so I wanted to find a way if there is a way to make lots of money online for these kids to have these things. However I am unable to leave my house I have very little technical know how and even at that I have no idea how to raise money online without going to all sorts of sites spamming my request for money for the kids and I refuse to do that it's rude and most ppl think it's a scam anyways which is smart of them.

So honestly with no one else to go to I came here for advice, is there anything I can do at all?

They could partner with a ministry that is already doing this, or a charity.

I can think of one called Variety.
Its not all on you, everyone gives what they can.

Are these children in your own community or elsewhere? Usually if this person is involved in a local church a special offering can be taken up for this.

Theres also crowdfunding. But I dont do that sort of thing cos I dont go on websites looking to give money away (at thus stage in my walk, dont know about anyone else, but, I suppose there might be wealthy christians who actually actively do this).

Also, big corporations that have christian CEOs are usually happy to sponsor schools, ie. the warehouse raises money for charities in the local community here in nz. They also have collection boxes customers can donate to causes. Some of their profits go directly to these charities.

Theres also a website called fundview in nz which you can apply to organisations and trusts that have moneys to give to worthy causes.
