Be careful when signing a donation My advise is be very careful when donating. Like some others I authorized a one-off donation and the amount has been taken off my account every month ever since. The biggest problem is that when I access my account to view the donations there is no record of them, the only way to try and cancel the charge is via a contact form and it seems wrong - you should be able to view and manage your donations within the account. I emailed and used the contact form and since there has been no answer I had no choice but cancel my card.

Although people have signed petitions… Although people have signed petitions in front of me and gone through the process of verifying, they are not a robot. The application does not update with their signature nor does it increase the ticker as to the number of people signing the petition!

Keep well clear of this outfit Keep well clear of this outfit. They mix genuine causes with ones on their own political agenda and certainly would never be accepted as a UK charity. Shame as they had good intentions when they started but like all organisations appear to have lost their way

Helping me Support women of the world A great nonprofit organisation that speaks out and highlights the need for improving women’s rights particularly in countries most affected by drought. This problem also identified by the UN but Avaaz allows individuals like me to be involved. Really like the way this platform only contacts me about issues i’ve expressed an interest in.

So many funny reviews... It's so funny (and depressing) how many people here are calling Avaaz fake and coming up with all sort of crazy conspiracy theories. Just because their actions are not compatible with your nationalist or ideological framework doesn't mean they aren't doing good things. And not only good things, but things most people with empathy and common sense can and will agree with. They are not against particular countries or peoples but they do campaign against unethical practices and corrupt and draconian politics. That is important on every possible level. I do however agree that they send quite a lot of messages which is sometimes annoying. But that is a small price to pay for trying to make the world a better place.
