Im going to tour the poor nations of South East Asia, & donate $10-15K worth of supplies. What do they need?
I want to visit these countries and experience the various cultures in South East Asia (Burma, Thailand, Cambodia), but if I go, I would like to also donate something that would help the people there the most.
I don’t feel good donating money, because as I’ve done it before, I doubt that it ever gets spent the right way.
At first, I thought about buying $15,000 worth of Nike’s for the children, but then I thought, the children will probably have their new shoes stolen as soon as I turned my back. Same thing with clothes or toys.
Maybe medicine, and medical supplies? But how do I arrange that? Do I need a prescription? A prescription for $15,000 worth of various medicines? And where do I dispense it when I get there?
What items do the people there desperately need, which I can help give them, without worrying that it ends up in the wrong hands?
Visit the country and see first hand how you can help them.
You can buy all that the poor need in the country itself.
The poor need food and medicine. You can buy them there and distribute it your self or go through the charity distribution organisations or churches or temples.Visit the orphanages and free hospitals. You will find more than enough avenues to help.
I suggest you go to Cambodia. Forget Myanmar as the military junta is very corrupt.
