Authenticity of International Help Organizations?

Posted by Cliff on from the are-they-legit dept.

UlfJack wonders: "I've been thinking about donating money, especially to organizations like Plan USA, who are doing what they can to help people in Third World countries. However I found it very difficult to check the authenticity of these organizations, so I'm trying to cross-check multiple independent sources. Has anyone figured out an easy way to do this?"

    On their web site, if they thank L. Ron Hubbard for something, then they are not a charity! (Although they can apparently fix shattered arms in 45 minutes and raise the dead, their help is usually handing out other people's supplies, Scientology leaflets, "pull my finger" healing, and getting in the way.)
