I like GiveDirectly. It gives people resources in the most flexible possible form (cash) so that they can attend to their needs more efficiently than if they had to deal with contributions in more rigid forms. One downside is that this doesn't directly address the oppressive institutions/policies that reproduce precarity and suffering, but it does give people a tiny bit more power within their lives while surviving under oppression
