Don't donate, it won't help. Behind every 3rd world nation entrenched in civil war is a 1st world nation. Third world nations don't have the technology or capability to manufacture weapons. Weapons are sold to those countries. In return is slave labor and natural resources. The majority of the people go hungry. The organizations to help the starving are either legitimate (and in that case they're only putting a bandid on the wound - that's why nothing has changed nor will change even after more than 50 years already) or they're businesses themselves lining their own pockets.
Basically, the situation won't change for a long time. It won't change since we (collectively 1st world nations) benefit from it.
I'm not a holier than thou person. Honestly, I rarely think about starving people in Africa or elsewhere. I guess in that way I'm part of the problem.
