nothingbutnets.org- $10 buys one mosquito net for a person in Africa. They have distributed nets to refugee camps in Chad, and hope to be able to send some to Sudan as well. According to the FAQ, this organization takes no overhead from the donation- all of it goes to purchasing, shipping, and educating people how to properly use their nets. The nets help stop the spread of malaria.
divest for darfur- i could not find a breakdown of where the money goes.
kidsforkids.org.uk - I found a pie-chart on their website, but was unsure as to whether or not there are any overhead costs. Maybe Mr. Cone or Mrs. Donohue can figure it out? http://www.kidsforkids.org.uk/about_importantinfo.asp
Because of homework, those were the only charities I had time to break down. Of course, we can always send our money to savedarfur.org or the solar cookers again, but it may be nice to do something different for a change.
