Child friendly charity sites?

[nunheadmum]

I have some money from last year's advent calendar which was meant to buy presents for the collection at church. We missed the collection so I thought I might get the kids to donate the funds online to a charity to help them get the concept that not all kids in the world are as comfortable as they are. But when I look online, a lot of the resources (videos etc) are aimed at the heart strings of adults and a bit too full on for sensitive kids.

Does anyone know of any good sites which explain the issues in a child friendly way (kids are 4 and 6)? I've tried broaching it but I think seeing a video or something would work better.

Oxfam has a site for children called cool planet that might have what you need. Most charity info for children is aimed at 7+ but there might be something useful. http://www.oxfam.org.uk/coolplanet/kidsweb/

They even have a Christmas list and your family can choose which items to buy to support children and families in need this Christmas, many of whom live 10 mins away from us
