Become a member of ACWW

The Associated Country Women of the World is a charity with UN consultative status that promotes rural women's projects in developing countries. These projects involve expanding access to water and sanitation, assisting with agricultural training and livelihoods, and more. Pretty unobjectionable stuff, no? This is a chance to support an organization that's small in terms of staffing and name recognition but large in terms of scope. Membership forms can be found at http://www.acww.org.uk/membership-forms.html. If it's inconvenient to mail in the form, you can always use your favorite free internet calling site to phone the London office or donate at http://www.justgiving.com/acww/.

Effort involved: really not much. And you don't even have to be a woman (or the country type) to belong to a rural women's organization!
