I'm not necessarily throwing rocks at them (yet). There's just things that don't make sense. Some of the accounting doesn't look right at first glance. I've got to give it another shot when I'm not exhausted.
Another example besides the market investments mentioned above - Their storage space for water and equipment is donated, but they spent almost $750k in rent in 2015. Granted, it is in NYC, but if your target areas are half the world away why set up headquarters in one of the most expensive places in North America?

Every charity has certain goals and different regions which they work in. Realistically speaking, the majority of the charities that help 3rd world countries are run by first world activist. Without them, nothing would really get achieved and things would be worse than it is now.
The money that is spent on rent, etc. is paid for by donating investors and not donations like the one I posted. All donations go directly to water.
