Personally I believe charity to be an extremely inefficient way of distributing help. You're essentially asking for numerous services with duplicated administration overheads that may even not provide their services equally. A more efficient way of spending money on care would be taxing the wealthy to expand government services.

I don't completely disagree with you. I don't think charities in developed nations are an effective use of money for the reasons you described and tax is probably a better mechanism.

But I would encourage you to look up effective altruism and specifically the book "the life you can save" by Peter Singer (perhaps Australia's greatest intellectual export)
