CARE is an international charity organization focused on improving the quality of life and development of people, increasing their HDI, that I would like to support.  The charity would improve the quality of life and development of people (increase their HDI) by helping people, women to be more successful in their day-to-day life, and by supporting certain projects that work to end the existence of poverty, and that support humans.  By helping women and other people and being against poverty they are working to increase countries' HDI's because if women are given more help, then they could know ways they could improve their life (e.g. getting a job, attending classes, etc.).  This would help the economy, thus improving their country's HDI.

Iris Global is an organization that helps people living in poverty in several countries in southern Africa.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital strives to find cures for cancer and life threatening diseases like cancer. The part about St. Jude that is different from most charities is that they conduct their program on the donations they receive so that families don't have to worry about medical bills for their child. This charity could help raise a countries HDI because it allows children to have a longer and healthier life. This in turn allows them to have the access to knowledge through schooling which can help them contribute to their countries economy, also raising the HDI level of that country.

As the first Millennium Development Goal, world hunger is a huge obstacle that intervenes with development. If a charity, like The Hunger Project, could increase a country's income and therefore reduce hunger, it could lead to other advancements in education and health care. What I really like about this organization is that it teaches the people how to improve their own development instead of just giving them money and creating an undependable reliance to organizations like this.
