Every pound makes a difference to those children. It pays for wells so they
can have clean water instead of dying from contaminated water. It pays for

I hope you've thoroughly vetted which ever charity you donate to, frequently with some of the charities less than 10% gets to the children, the rest goes to professional fund raisers, bribes and overheads etc, you should always examine the accounts.
