I’ve recently began working with a client where I have committed to donate a portion of my earnings to charities based in Palestine, Sudan, and the DRC.
I’m not sure what the best/most effective charities to donate to are, so I’m looking for suggestions.
As I see potential for this work to turn into a long term engagement, I’m keen to make sure that I’m putting the money towards effective charities.
