Be careful you don't get scammed by those who will offer to help you donate.

You are better off getting a virtual bitcoin debit card from uquid.com or wirex.com and donate in fiat using your debitcard.

As stated above , this could be a scam , I personally never heard of the website you linked us to.
Instead , you may want to visit the official website for each charity listed there and donate (If it's legit then you should find addresses there).

There is also some websites you could donate to : http://bitcoinforcharity.com/bitcoin-charity-list/ and this is another one that BiPolarBob used to donate money to (I suppose It's legit) : http://www.seansoutpost.com/

I've never heard of this site and it is hard to say if it is trusted. Maybe the best way would be if you make some inquiry at humanitarian organizations or in your local community if there is something where you could donate Bitcoins for refugees. I only know that web site bitcoinforcharity is legit, but that was already mentioned before.

I don`t trust most of the bitcoin crowdfunding or charity platforms.

I don`t know anything about this website and i don`t know is it trusted or not.

Just donate fiat money to some trusted foundation,if you want.

Rather than giving your Bitcoins to some little known shady organization, you can first convert your coins to fiat, and use that fiat to make donations to well known charity organizations, such as Médecins Sans Frontières. Also, if the amount is significant, you can request the charity to accept the payments in the form of Bitcoins.

Just because a website looks legit doesn't mean that it is. Just saying this in general, not for this website specifically.
Do the donations go straight to the charities listed on that website? Never heard of Cubits before, but seems like a payment gateway?

Also, look for any charity on http://www.charitynavigator.org/ to see how their funds are spent before donating.

1. i think that no one knows where do the funds go after donating except the owner ofcourse. lol.
2.op, many people including me, dont believe in donating online and that too with an irreversible mode of payment because there are many scammers who try to scam you with their odd tricks and believe me, there are high chances of getting scammed in such cases.
3. if you are really interested in helping others, then just convert your btc into fiat and donate it to a reputable charity which is located physically near your area. good idea, right ?

You can donate to UN Refugee Agency directly with credit card - see details here https://donate.unhcr.org/int-en/general, and currently they do not accept Bitcoins as payment.  ;)

like said by bryant, i think it's better if you convert to fiat first. is easier to find legit companies willing to make a good use of your donations. unfortunately, with bitcoins, most will be scams.

there was a site that was accepting bitcoins for Syria. it turned out to be a scam. I contacted the real charity and they got the page taken down. be careful out there.

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.
I am too young to own a credit card,so I will buy a virtual credit card and will pay through that.I hope that donating via a VCC won't be a problem.

Theses two pictured moved me so much,that I made a decision to donate my money instead of buying a telescope.

We are lucky enough to earn money and spend it on luxuries.
Just think about the pain that they are going through.
PLEASE help this world achieve stability by moving forward your help for a greater cause.

Never heard of a website like that so really has no idea if that is scam or not, but you should not donate there until you get assured if that is really the place where you should donate the coins to get to the refugees in Syria.

Your intentions are good. And I have one suggestion for you. Volunteering is always better than making a monetary donation. I am not asking you to travel to Syria, in order to help these people. You can stay in your country, and help the Syrian refugees. I have read that many of the European nations are facing a shortage of volunteers to help the Syrian immigrants.

Who started this war should end it, end help these people. What can we do with couple bitcoins?
I live in Serbia, my country is on their way to Europe. Its mostly young mans, I don't see so many woman's and kids.
I think all charity organizations are just for money laundering, they actually can't help. Problem exist even if you give water and food to some people, but how many more will come?
People should ask themselves why this is happening, and where is to root of the problem. Charity organizations can't do nothing, when there is governments that made all this mess.
