ShareTheMeal: Don de charit‪é‬ 4+

Fed seven kids by skipping my coffee this morning

It’s long due to have a simple, effective, and transparent app for an outstanding organization with which you can see and measure results. Well done. I keep the app on my front page of my phone.

Please read:)

After reading the reviews there were many people who were uncertain about how reliable this charity is. After reading the Terms of Conditions as well as their FAQ page, the program notes that for every donation you make 62% goes directly to the families in need, 28% is invested in their fundraising and marketing, 6% is used to help run the organization and 4% is used for payment fees. Therefore, for every 80 cents (1.10$ CAD) only 49 cents (88 cents) is given to those in need. It’s unlikely that sum of money is enough to provide meals for a whole day, let alone a single meal that contains the required nutrients, making their marketing not 100% accurate or truthful. In the end it is your own choice to contribute, find another organization or donate twice the amount in order to guarantee enough money is provided for these families. Nonetheless, besides only 62% of proceeds actually being used for the direct hunger problem, the charity is created by the United Nations and there isn’t any evidence that they are a scam or that the money isn’t being used for hunger or growing the charity.

Not verifiable independently. Better options available.

I do not recommend this app. There is no 100% guarantee that 100% of anyone’s donation actually reaches deserving recipients. People are better off donating to local charities supporting local homeless and hungry children.

January 3rd, 2018: In response to the developer, you ignore my reasonable request to provide INDEPENDENT, EASILY VERIFIABLE PROOF of where every last cent went. I felt quite comfortable donating to local charities supporting local homeless and hungry children, seeing actual, in the flesh proof my donations were worthwhile. The UN has a spotty record of corruption. Anyone recall the Food for Oil scandal?

Réponse du développeur ,

ShareTheMeal is an initiative of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). WFP’s administrative costs are among the lowest in the non-profit sector – with 90% of donations going directly to WFP operations that are building a world with zero hunger.
