Solidarity is an important value in people, when we are supportive we are willing to help others, we are aware of their needs. The world has evolved placing at our disposal different means to make our help reach different social causes around the world. However one of the most recurrent questions we ask ourselves personally is if our money and donations really reach the neediest. This was the doubt of a friend who wants to collaborate with my personal project, one of the points she highlighted in our conversation was the transparency and sincerity of charity projects. The scam is rolling around every corner and the bad reputation of some charity projects has managed to negatively impact people who are willing to be supportive, even with projects that are just starting like mine.
You are a caring person and you want to help a charity project !
You saw a social networks ads asking for collaborations and you want to help !
The first thing I want to tell you is that you are a person with a giving heart, however there are tips you should follow before you are sure to send your donations, especially when it comes to large sums of money.
Social networks are full of campaigns to make donations, even influencers make such requests to their followers, unfortunately not all that glitters is gold just like the veracity of advertisements and NGO websites, scams are available.
Fraud is everywhere. The million dollar question is how can you tell when it's a scam?
👉Here are some tips
✍️Social work scammer uses charity's name to ask for donations
You must keep in mind when contacting that person or organization that if it is a scam, they will always refuse to send information about their work, remember that every social organization has a structure and results of their work, denying you access to this information is an alert.
✍️Avoiding important questions about the distribution of donations
will always come disguised with lies, when it is a real cause always seek to answer all the doubts since both parties have common goals.
✍️Pressure you to donate:
The insistence, the exaggerated emails are a sign that something is wrong, you are facing a scam.
This is a summary of some tips that you should keep in mind when sending your money to charitable causes, remember that it is necessary to do some research on charities, including if it is one that is in your area. If like my friend you lived a scam you should keep in mind the lessons of that experience, everything happens for the best, nothing prevents you from helping others, because we need caring people all over the world.

You are right. People should always be curious whom they offer their money for a good cause. Thats why I created my own charity account. Saving HBD to Do good things.
Under the account @kheldar1982 I gave away around 4.000 $ over the last years. Now I try to make this more reliable with @hive.helps. If you are interested in Charity, you may want to have a look there.
Thanks for the invitation, I think it's great that you have your own project for a good cause, we have that in common, it's one of the reasons why I'm here in Hive, although to be honest I don't know many things, however I also have the desire to help others, that's why I'm organizing my own project.
