I would never give money unless it was for school fees & I would pay the school direct, get a receipt & follow up that the child is attending school.Otherwise only give food ( fresh fruit & veg, as I don't believe they get enough)clothes, toys, books etc.
It's amazing how much these kids really appreciate what strangers do for them.
