Interesting that Jason lists clean water as one of the basic needs. One of the charities that I support is Water Missions International.
Water Missions
(International does sometimes include the USA, such as after Hurricane Katrina.)
We also donate to, and buy from the Habitat ReStores of Habitat for Humanity, that Jason mentions.
I remember a story about ten years ago on the news. It was about an American young boy donated his money to build a underground water pump system in Africa. He saved many poor Africans... Now, I wonder that they still use it, or did the African government blocks it for money?
I recalled that our government gave millions of dollars to help Africa for many years, but it was never successful. This boy made the difference.
