I have had my vote on puppy but just worth mentioning
This distribution was designed to facilitate the refurbishment of computers donated to humanitarian associations, particularly to Emmaüs communities (hence its name) and to encourage beginners to discover GNU / Linux , but also to extend the lifespan of the hardware to limit waste caused by the overconsumption of raw materials.
Not many are written with this in mind.
It’s way less “corporate” and feels more “democratic” than Red Hat EL 100%!

I think it wins the Charity award.
There is a Linux distro called Accessible Coconut which was developed specifically for visually impaired persons.

We (in general) dont know or do enough for those less fortunate, in health, physical, as well as money related. There are many search engines who donate, but never checked if they really do.

Ecosia is a search engine which is ecologically responsible. They actually share where their money goes.

There is little each of us of can do , other than donate.
I would like to think that Church donations are directed to proper use.
I distrust websites.
We live in a world where direct assistance is frowned upon and most of our charitable efforts are outsourced .
It was not always like that. Have we moved in a wrong direction?

Comes from the catholique charity Emmaus, which originally was a french idea around war time paris and was set up to help those in need in france, its now international and I wonder at times if it really does help, but perhaps its me being over cautioned.
In the UK i did some work for local charity and could see the money going to the right place, then spent some time with a fund rasing group and they were set targets, paid a wage based on that and though no longer want to be involved.
