Baby Milk Action. They do the most on protecting breastfeeding, and
they get the least money. Everyone presumes they get a lot, when they
get very little. They just do so much on it. There are things they
can't get to, as they don't have the money to support the activity.

In terms of those giving aid, Save The Children and War On Want. I also
have a personal soft spot for WaterAid, as clean water is the foundation
for everything else.

I just did this as a blog, and donation pages for all of the above, are
here:

If you put 'breastfeeding' into the Save the Children search engine, you
get some impressive results on their campaigns to highlight
breastfeeding is primal on global hunger. War on Want have a more
radical and socialist view on aid, than most of the aid agencies. (And,
indeed, they produced the image of the starving baby in the baby bottle,
all those years ago. Although, as we've found with Oxfam, you need to
assess an aid agency by their current work, not past glories.)

Clearly, this is a personal list, and I have no connections with any of
the agencies I've mentioned. :-)
