Why UNICEF will get nothing from me

Don’t get me wrong. I generally like UNICEF and similar agencies. I do, however, have two rules for charities:
1) They can’t be primarily aimed at helping people in rich countries.
2) They can’t exclude one of the sexes.
The UNICEF beggar letter that came in the mail today fulfilled the first but violated the second. Its goal was to provide shelter and education to girls in Nepal. An admirable goal, but get back to me when you also include the boys, okay?
