There are such charitable organizations as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army ( both being multi-national) but aside from obvious religious organizations- well, they just don"t talk about it publically. I know those two exist- but am not aware of others, maybe they don"t like to talk about (sad) or downbeat subjects- sort of the Flip side of ( Joie de Vivre)_ Joy of living.
