I'm a Kiva lender, and I've been really pleased with the various pleas for help on LJ recently (well, not pleased that people need help, of course) because they're only asking for small amounts, so it's possible to donate to many of them.

Most of my effort to decrease worldsuck is in my writing, though. Not everybody can take Tam Lin to the hospital during labor, because the book annoys them, so I have to keep writing more books so more people will have something to hold onto during bad times.
