"I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for him, will be in Paradise like this," putting his index and middle fingers together.

Brothers and sisters in Islaam!
I don't know about other cultures, but in Pakistani and Indian cultures, the woman (when she gets married) gets so much gold jewellery that the Zakah of the gold jewellery alone totals over £300.
Since Ramadan is coming up, why not use this money to do a good deed, and sponsor an Orphan TODAY InshaAllaah.
sad tosay, I have no trust in charity organizations. I have yet to see some proof that they actually help people.
i know a divorcee convert woman with one-year old child. The woman is blind on one eye. she gets no money from any charity organization. They turn her down with many excuses. They don't even care that the woman is a convert and is blind on one eye. What would happen if she starts hating islam because of the muslim's behavior?
So it's important to investigate and make sure that the organization really helps people. I find it better to directly help a person or do it through a trustible friend than to give to charity organization.

Not ALL charities are the same, so please don't badmouth them.

^like i said, it's important to investigate. find out where your money is going. If you want to sponsor a child, insist that you want to have contact with the child, a phone call, etc and get other information too. also insist that your money is paid directly by the charity organization to the child/child's parent. some muslim charity in the past would give the money to a christian charity organization in the US that had a sponsor a child program. And it was written in a Times MAgazine article that that organization took money from a sponsorer even after the child had died. many months later, when the sponsorer inquired about the child and wanted to meet the child, the organization gave her the child's address. when the sponsorer went there she learned that the child had died months ago!
also, if a muslim organization gives the money to nonmuslim organization, the nonmuslim organization may try to use the proceeds to spread christianity.
