How much money does it take to save a life? If I were to donate $100, or $1000, or $10000 to the right charity, would that save someone's life somewhere in the world? How many lives has Bill Gates saved?

Charity begins at home, the kindness, the care, the sympathy can save lives..

ANY charity has overhead costs... If you truly want to save a life... take your money, head to the streets, pick up a homeless person and turn their life around by teaching them what to do with money such as buying food or paying for their rehab. But you must find someone who is truly willing to change.
Another thing you could do is visit your local school or churches and ask if there any underprivileged children that you could help. With this being said I do NOT mean by giving the parent money to help the child. The parent OBVIOUSLY doesn't know what the hell they are doing if they are poor in the first place!!
Set up a college fund for a child...$10,000 can go along way for a technical college and kid who comes from nothing.
As for Mr. Gates I am sure he has saved thousands with the over 30 billion he has donated. Problem is the charities take most of it for paper work and payroll. I believe in helping people first hand and leave out the middleman.
Bless your heart for thinking of helping!!
Happy Wednesday!

Send your money to my charity e-gold account and I will send you pictures of what you have made with that money over here in my country. If you are so calculative with you money, forget it. You are not honest with your words..
