There are a tremendous number of charities that help children in different ways; it would not be possible to list them all. There are lists of charities available that do categorize charities by the type of help that is offered and also rate and evaluate them for their good deeds and for their appropriate use of the donations. See the related link below to one of these charity evaluators, Charity Navigator, to help you find the charity for children in need that you want to support. Additional sources, that also provide evaluations of charitable organizations, are listed with links to them in the related links associated with the related question below: Does charity money actually go to CHARITY?

Your interest in helping others is appreciated.
