How is it shady?

I don't know if there is a specific reason, but I would be a little wary of donating to this without at least cursorily checking out the organisation involved. Unfortunately aid money sometimes ends up having minimal or negative impacts.
Hi! Charlie (the guy behind the webpage) here.

Your skepticism is great. Happily, Building Tomorrow has a great track-record, and has made being transparent one of their core principles. You can read more about it here: http://www.buildingtomorrow.org/zeta/about-us/transparency/

You can also check out third parties who've reviewed them, http://givinglibrary.org/organizations/building-tomorrow and http://www.guidestar.org/organizations/56-2614329/building-t...

Thanks!
