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
high calorie food to keep those babies alive.
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.
