They live on next to nothing and deal with problems every day. Whether we're talking about people in third world countries who live in shacks and have no food or children with cancer who show little sign of living until an adult, there are plenty of people much less fortunate than you.

Fortunately, some of us have decided to take action. There are charities all over the world that have popped up to help the people in need. These charities help people that don't have a lot of money, that have emotional or physical problems, that are affected by a catastrophe, that live in broken down homes in areas, etc. There are many non-profit organizations have built teams and set up projects to help others and the problems in our world.

If you want to help, you can do charity work, too. There are lots of charities in the world to work with, but the first place you should look is in your own community. Are there any charities in your community? Often there are food pantries, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, low cost stores with the donated items, and more places where you can work in your own town. Try to contact one or more of these places to see if they will take any of your charity. You can donate both money and time to most charities.

How much money should you donate to charity? Some people have trouble verifying whether or not to charity is legitimate. It is sad to know that there are people out there exploiting the needs of others to get the money of the wealthy, but it happens. The best way to avoid this is to work with an established charity and make sure you see what is being done by them. There are more than enough charities to work with that are legitimate and established.

The amount of money you donate to charity is entirely up to you. Of course, the more money you donate, the better, but we do not all have a limitless supply of cash to give to others. If you want to donate regularly, one rule of thumb is to take a percentage of your income each month. For example, if you decide to donate 2% of your income each month to charity and you make £3000 a month, you will donate £60 a month to a charity. Try to donate more and more each year to help others.

If you can't donate much money to a charity, you may want to consider charity work with them in donating your time. Many charities require lots of hands-on work and if you can provide it to them for free, they will greatly appreciate it. Even if you can just donate a few hours a week, you will make a difference in your community and in the world.
