Reputable secular charities that I can give to?

By secular, I'm NOT demanding that there be no Christians, or any other religious people, in a charitable organization-just that they don't ask for prayers, and don't believe that disasters and illness are the result of things like voodoo practices. By reputable, I do mean that I want to donate to charities where the money actually gets to those who are hurting, and isn't sucked up by a huge bureaucracy. Any suggestions are welcome!

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
