Kira - big names= big money- I understand what you are saying-
It was the reason that I personally delivered aid door to door between Kent (UK) and the two SOS Villages in Mopti and Sanankoroba in Mali.
I have learned that large charities want your money to deliver their plans in line with their strategies. Individual missions don't 'fit' their agendas.
You either give to them or do what I did and give life to these missions with contributions from others and self . It is a question of personal choice. Many people will not / cannot step out of their comfort/security zone so will donate to these large charities that do do some amazing work.
I take a great deal of joy from what I was told by the village 'Papa's'- that in the three years I delivered, not one child had died of malaria- Result!
There are 276 orphans living in 2 purpose built SOS villages where I delivered the loads by road.
The problem is always the same- these missions,without financial support, are not sustainable long -term by a single individual (unless your name is Mr Gates and the like!)
I have no web site but can be contacted - French is my first language.
Good on you Kira for doing what you are.
