I used to give to a number of charities until one day I was told the ceo's of charities earn six figure salaries. Now I always research the salaries paid to executives. How can a ceo earning £100,000 per year understand what it is like to live on $2 per day.
I strongly believe that these ceo's should have a passion for their work, and they should be paid a salary that reflects their passion, not their greed.
In the spirit of praying for justice for all people,

I agree with you

c. In a just world no one would need charity.
I think there is a hadeeth that there will eventually be a time when people will want to pay charity, but there will be no one that needs it. Maybe its the end days... Or the last hour, I'm not sure.
I avoid organisations because I feel donations have bigger Impact when paid directly into the hands that need it. No admin fees and no middle man fees.
In my early years predominantly my family would send money back home to villages / nearby villages where my parents grew up or grandparents / great grandparents lived and ancestors established themselves, there were nearby families that needed money, so money would be sent directly to them.
