Millions of dollars/euros/pounds have arrived - and no-one to administrate it, control it, and make sure that it gets properly used.

Who should decide?
 
Distributing help money is a difficult and complicated task that can go terrible wrong and money can lose a lot in efficiency (most bang for the bucks) if not done right. So give them to those with experience and commitment. Children are sold to prostitution, paedophiles, trafficked and kidnapped by so called “help workers” today.

I’ve listed those I support.
Have to push a bit extra for Plan since they are not as well known as the two others. They focus on children and are a fantastic help organisation, got a long time goal rebuilding a healthy society for people. They already got a long-time commitment, goals as well as years of experience and locally trained staff in Asia. A sad and tragic and disgusting thing that has followed this disaster is the above listed abuse of children. Plan is aware of and has experience to work with, prevent this awful and important problem in addition to other.

There’s always the Red Cross.

Medecins sans frontiers, I’ve clipped in some information of what they already has achieved from their website and a link to them.
