You might be able to pull off the payments side using cryptocurrencies. Check out the CharityCoin directory for Bitcoin addresses: https://github.com/charitycoin/directory. You also might want to check in with the Stellar folks (http://slack.stellar.org/). They're working on some cool international projects dealing with financial inclusion, though there's a good chance you'll have to build the necessary connections to the Stellar network yourself.

The problem here is that I'll have to fill up a wallet with Bitcoin now, and then pay them later. That takes away the sting of, "Wow, being lazy cost me money". Still, right now, this is the one of the best ideas I've found. Paypal has a Payments API, and I can pay charities through it, but it's not a very good API, and it really seems like it'll be painful.

You'd think it would be easier to give money away!
