[Theodores]

This is so true. The problem with charities is that so much money needs to be raised to pay for the people that manage the people that raise money. Then the people that spend the money raised expect to be treated like heroes. Plus charities don't pay tax so it is all a bit silly.

Compare with getting into ecommerce and working with some small businesses that don't yet sell online. For example, suppose you team up with a business in the Himalayas that sells genuine Tibetan Monkey Stones to passing tourists that just so happen to be newly wed. Put their business online so that people all over the world can buy traditional Tibetan Monkey Stones for friends getting married. Get the orders in, make people happy on their special day, help some business get more than passing trade, potentially to grow and take on new employees, everyone is a winner. No inane fundraisers needed.
