Which NGO to sponsor a child in Afghanistan?

[kimmi]

When I donated to Save the Children, you were not able to choose the child but the money went to a particular project or regional area I think... I too would be interested.

I have been sponsoring a girl with child fund australia. I have been doing it since 2000 and can't remember if I got to chose the country or not but I know I got to choose boy or girl. I think they are wonderful. I receive progress reports every few months and letters from my sponsored child. Which ever way you go its a wonderful cause.

at the risk of causing a ruckus....

I do not support individual child sponsorship programs, but donate regularly to oxfam & MSF. I saw first hand some of the devisiveness of child sposorship on a community, and the "expensiveness" of these types of programs.

here are some interesting reads on the negative effects of child sponsorship.
