Where your money goes is up to you - split if freely among a charity of your choice, the publisher Open Road Media and Humble Bundle.

I suggest supporting charities that have been evaluated by charity evaluators such as GiveWell and have shown to make very good use of the funds they receive - not only in terms of efficiency, transparency and accountability, but also with respect to the impact they have on the world.

Examples for effective charities you can donate to through Humble Bundle are the Against Malaria Foundation, the Good Food Institute, Evidence Action and GiveDirectly. 

Or you can support meta-organisations such as The Life You Can Save, Animal Charity Evaluators or the Centre for Effective Altruism which conduct research on how to help more effectively and raise money for effective charities.

-> Get the Brain Wave Humble Bundle and donate to The Life you Can Save
(only availabe until 13 June)

If you have questions regarding effective giving, or regarding specific charities, feel free to ask!

Hi @benjaq your article reminds me of my student. She is a rape victim and I wanted to go certain office to beg some help. She is very poor and she has no mother. A charity you wrote on this article reminds me of her. She has also something in her ✍️ ,the way she write is in reverse form. Have you seen the words in front of the mirror? That's exactly what she did.
