“Donors Beware

Americans wanting to help people facing a humanitarian crisis in Uganda should send contributions to only those charities with an established track record of helping people in this region. During a highly publicized crisis, it is common for disreputable, fly-by-night “charities” to take advantage of the public’s generosity.”

Charity Navigator is another place where you can go and check to see if an organization is reputable or not. 

I’ve received dozens of resentful comments and questions regarding my criticism of Invisible Children’s campaign. But some of you genuinely want to know how you can help to contribute positively to this conflict. Here are some organizations that are actually helping.
