A question about : I've funded school in India now want to start charity

Hello all,

I have funded a new school in India, and now pay Ј220 per month to cover electricity, teachers, and rent.

the school has been open for six months and they have just sat their half-year exams (the school year is not the same as in the UK. This is in Madhya Pradesh). I have a stream of photos of happy kids coming through.

This is a huge commitment for me alone. I want to bring in others to help and also do some charity challenges to raise funds...

A question about : Some small help?

Okay so ive been playing with an idea for quite some time and i feel like now is the time to get the ball rolling.

Basically i want to create a charity to help homeless off the street, the service i would offer would hopefully have some kind of building with beds in which a homeless person could come off the streets and sleep somewhere warm and safe.

A question about : How do you choose?

Which charities to support?

I want to make a regular donation to a charity, and have shortlisted it to two, both do good work, both seems to spend their money well, over 90% on charitable work. One is large and receives a lot of funding from the government etc, the other is smaller and relies almost entirely on private donations. The larger one obviously has a bigger impact.

I know that it is ultimately a personal choice, but I was wondering how other people think about these things?
