PLAN is a great charity for that. They do things like give girls food to take home from school. It made it so the family would be better off sending their girl to school. Efficient and effective!

PLAN has low overhead, too. They don't spend fortunes on marketing. A high percentage of donations (~90% IIRC) goes to the people in need.

I learned this from PLAN Canada, but I'm sure it is the same elsewhere. I have no relation, just a fan of their work.
