Invisible Children. A few guys ended up going over to Africa and shot a documentary on Child-Soldiers and the intense lifestyle, in general.
This will move you like no other. It motivates you to save up money to pour into organizations like this that are pushing forward to stop these awful movements. Invisible Children has had an extreme impact in the fight against Child-Soldiers. Read more on their website or watch more of their videos on youtube!

Kiva
3rd World Countries - Loan Giving.
Kiva is a tight program that allows you to send out loans to people in third world countries to provide a way for them to start a business. The idea is to get a bunch of people together and pour their financial resources together to create this micro-loans.
(i.e.) [10] people give a gift of $25.00 - giving that person $250.00
Now, get this - these people pay you back! Not only did you provide them a way to fulfill their entrepreneurial dreams but they give it back! Sometimes you don't get all your money back - but for the most part, they end up doing well and return the loan.
Furthermore, once you receive your money back - you can do the process all over again and give someone else a loan! It's the best idea I have ever heard!
Not only this - you choose who your money goes to - there is a giant list of different countries, then you can narrow the search even more - and then you can read their individual stories and decide who you want to help out! It's super cool!
