Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
Regarding charity matters, such as Zakat, Sadaqa, or Qurbani, the best scenario is to give it to the needy of one’s own area.

However, in the following circumstance, it is allowed and preferred to give to other places:
(1) To one’s relative living in another country
(2) To Muslims of another country are in more need
(3) To those who bring more benefit to the Muslim, such as Islamic scholars.
