Some might say it's quite a crowded market
There are many charities that are dedicated to ending poverty. Some focus on UK poverty, some focus on child poverty, and some work in the world's poorest countries.
When you donate to a poverty charity it's not simply a case of the money being given to the person or community in need. Organisations like Oxfam, Save the Children and Christian Aid use donations to fund programmes that help to improve the quality of life for poor people. Donations help to pay for better sanitation, education and access to medical care.
Some of the biggest charities who help people in poverty are Oxfam, Save the Children, Barnados, UNICEF, World Vision, Christian Aid, British Red Cross, CARE International UK and CAFOD.
