Review for Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED), San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Camfed USA is an organization that helps African girls receive an education. Education is key to stopping the spread of disease such as HIV/AIDS and discontinuing the horrible cycle of poverty. Education gives people hope for a better future, and the skills they need to make dreams into reality. Highly rated by Charity Navigator, your donation is used correctly. You can choose to donate to a specific fund such as elementary education, secondary education, business training, etc. or a general fund where need is the greatest. They have inspiring stories on their website about the girls who have benefitted from Camfed's work and your donations. It's incredibly moving and it inspires me to spread the word about this wonderful organization.

Review for Natural Resources Defense Council Inc, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The NRDC is an organization that is a positive and effective voice in environmental policy. They have a great website where they keep you updated on government issues dealing with the environment. You can send messages to your representatives through their site. It's very easy, and from looking at results, also has an impact. They also have plenty of information on how to improve your own personal environmental choices and how to get involved in your community. They are highly rated by organizations such as Charity Navigator, so if you donate, you know your money is being spent correctly.
