If you want to help people who are being oppressed and degraded and denied their human rights all over the world but don't have the means to go anywhere and are feeling frustrated about not being able to do anything, check out these websites:
Amnesty International amnesty.org
Human Rights Watch hrw.org
There are a lot of things you can do from your computer, like writing letters, signing petitions, informing others and working in other ways to defend human rights. It's not a lot and the 'success rate' is something like 30% but it's better than doing nothing.
When I am feeling depressed and useless often what helps me is being able to help someone out who is going through worse things than I am.
Actually I believe we should do out best to help people all the time and as a Christian I also believe that it is an expectation from God but maybe let's not have a theological discussion here...
... but if you are interested in helping others and have some time on your hands and access to a computer, I recommend checking these sites out.
