It has been feeding the hungry, especially children in drought -ridden countries since it was first established in Ireland away back in 1973. It is now busy in over 20 of these countries and so yes, it most certainly is a legitimate charity. So I don't think they need any lectures from us on how to survive amidst all the odds! However, I'm sure they welcome volunteers and financial help to eradicate as much poverty as possible.
