Please look through the information below to choose which charity you think should recieve the donation. The names are linked to that charity's website if you want more information. I have attempted to stick with international charities, as this is an international project and I do not want a disproportionate representation of any one country to bias the outcome.
Amnesty International:
This charity aims to promote general awareness of human rights and oppose specific abuses of human rights, e.g. torture, the death penalty, involving children in armed conflicts, etc.
Barnado's
Barnardos works with children who face barriers in realising their full potential, due to poverty, abuse, neglect, bereavement, violence and special needs.
