Where can I donate money to the Haiti relief effort that will benefit them the most?

Disaster
I live in Canada and am greatly troubled by the disaster in Haiti. However, I learned after donating to the 9/11 funds that most of the money never reaches the people and services that need it. Does anyone know of a charity that is not corrupt and that will ensure my money goes to the right places? Thanks!

go to KFI640am.com…..click on the link for ThreeAngels…..it is for an orphanage that one of the DJ’s and his wife are involved in …. they have already found placement for over 70 orphans and a lot more are expected to need adoption after this horrible incident…..the money goes to the children and their needs…not to managers and administrators…..

CharityNavigator rates charities. Some organizations that earned high ratings are Oxfam and CARE.

Donate to big corporations like the Red Cross or others like it. Go for the big names, these are normally proving to be less corrupt. By donating money though them your money will reach them in hours.

If they have plenty of farm, they wouldn’t need our help. They are too lazy to grow food crop and keep livestock. But noooo, 90% of people were in labor force
