Volunteer Flying?

Hi all, this is my first post so please be nice.

Ive recently got my PPL and am trying to work out how I'm going to build my 100 hours. Ive done a lot of looking around and figured that the US seems like the way to go as it is so much cheaper than the rates I'm paying here in the UK.
However, my newest idea is: if I'm going to fork out a good bit of money wherever I go, i might as well help people doing it or be of some use rather than just flying for the sake of flying. (not that I wouldn't enjoy that!)

Any ideas? Do you think there's any charities etc. that I could help out perhaps in Africa or somewhere. I know that bush flying jobs generally require a cpl but I'm not looking for free flying. Im happy to pay my fare, just want to do something worthwhile.

Any thoughts/advice more than welcome, thanks!!
