There're already running organizations or charity groups which you can help with sending money. I can't give a guarantee for ifever they're legally valid or not but I tried to make a list of <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;">possibly</span> legal ones, with good referances, take your own risk. <div><div>Ripple Africa is a Malawi based charity organization. You can see <a href="http://www.rippleafrica.org/ripple_funding_all.htm">their activities</a> . They're collecting money for many things, including primary school tools to teacher salaries. They also gather help for health care. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.selfhelpafrica.com/selfhelp/Main/aboutselfhelpafrica.htm">Self Help</a> Africa is made of two organizations which have been created during great Ethiopian famine. Here's a list of <a href="http://www.selfhelpafrica.com/selfhelp/Main/fund.asp">how to help them</a> but I couldn't find an online fund.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.linkethiopia.org/">Link Ethiopia</a> is another charity based on the northern side. They accept online donation from <a href="http://www.linkethiopia.org/get_involved/donate.html">here</a>.  They mainly focus on education, clean water or toilets (which are very important subjects in fighting with illnesses). </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://www.volunteerafrica.org/">Volunteer Africa</a> is another charity, based on volunteer work, you can apply <a href="http://www.volunteerafrica.org/green/applying">from here</a> but we don't know them and can't give guarantee for your safety, contact them for questions. </div><div><br /></div><div>Somali Poverty Relief is another charity organization, working with <a href="http://www.communigate.co.uk/london/somalipovertyrelief/page2.phtml">donations</a> which has focused on Somali primary schools. </div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://helpinghandshealingministries.org/HelpingHands/currentneeds.html">Helping Hands Healing</a> is a charity organization with some <a href="http://helpinghandshealingministries.org/HelpingHands/project12.html">completed projects</a> .

I will try to create helpful information on African cities, trade in Africa, cultural and humanitarian side, with social background. <div><br /></div><div>Africa, as the oldest homeland of Humanity and Culture,  is the less known continent compared the others with its rich cultural background.  In popular culture, Africa is shown with wars, helplessness or hunger but few people really think how to help African economy or social life to improve or what potentials Africa has. </div><div><br /></div><div>As I progress with this blog, I will add new parts to this introduction. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6232086481292012528-372734189584233004?l=africandatabase.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>tolgafnoreply@blogger.com0
