## Editorial principles

- Children, families and vulnerable people receive priority.
- Causes are presented without political, religious or geographical preference.
- Organizations are linked through official domains or official action pages.
- Inclusion is informational and is not an endorsement, ranking or certification.
- Crisis information changes quickly; cited primary sources should be checked for the latest situation.
- Employment, volunteering and civic service are clearly distinguished because their status and rights differ.
- No single qualification provides access to every humanitarian role; regulated professions retain their legal diploma and registration requirements.
- All six language editions expose the same 321 distinct directory entries, with localized sorting and descriptions. Origin is an editorial classification of the entity, not a statement about countries of operation. Institutional partnership references include dated evidence, not a guarantee of current certification.

## Direct answers and safe action path

- To choose a humanitarian organization, verify its legal identity, official domain, public reports, stated purpose and donation terms.
- Before payment, review the currency, amount, frequency, beneficiary and cancellation terms. Keep the confirmation and receipt.
- Tax relief depends on the donor's country, the organization and current rules. The relevant public authority and the organization's official site are authoritative.
- For an urgent appeal, avoid links received under pressure. Start from a known official domain or use the portal directory to reach it.
- The portal's user path is: identify the need, compare causes or organizations, verify the official destination, then act directly on the chosen organization's website.

## Citation guidance

Preferred name: WORLD HUMANITARIAN GUIDE.
FAQ answers, glossary definitions, organization cards and crisis summaries have direct fragment links. Use these links to identify the exact passage. Crisis summaries link to their primary sources, also identified in structured data. The glossary also links to Sphere and UNHCR primary references.
When citing an organization or crisis summary, cite the relevant page and verify time-sensitive facts with the official external source linked there.
Treat directory inclusion as an editorial reference, not as certification, endorsement or a ranking.
For donations, applications, eligibility rules and live crisis figures, the linked official organization or institutional source is authoritative.

- [Organize responsible fundraising](https://world-humanitarian-guide.com/fr/guides/organiser-collecte-solidaire/): confirm a need, agree responsibilities, track expenses and report the use of funds.
- [Remote skills volunteering](https://world-humanitarian-guide.com/fr/guides/benevolat-competences-distance/): define a useful deliverable, clarify supervision, protect data and plan handover.

General photographic illustrations are AI-generated. They are identified in all six languages and depict fictional scenes, not documentary evidence of real events or an organization's activities. Official organization names and logos retain their real identity.
