Donations and NGOs : How these are making poverty last longer
Donation seems to be one of the most virtuous deed one can do. But it is one of the thing that is making the poverty of a community last longer. How? Here's how:
-
NGOs or donating organizations are providing a community with all the basic needs for a certain time and that's what destroys the opportunity for someone among them to start a business and grow an economical cycle among the community. Also, the community builds up a dependency on the donations to live.
-
Destroying the economical cycle of the community means destroying small level work opportunities in the community too.
-
Destroying self esteem and building up a sense of poverty.
There's more to the list. So what can the NGOs and donators do to not have such bad effect?
Okay, here's my ideas:
-
Education. The first and foremost thing you can help them with is education. Education doesn't mean giving them some books and papers as charity and boom. the community is now educated. No, this doesn't work like that. If you are an NGO or from a Charity Organization, arrange long term scholarship programs for the talents from the poor communities. That will help some families improve from the root.
-
Helping with businesses : Help the people by giving them advices and financial supports to start small businesses like poultry , or dairy farm or clothing etc. There's more . But providing foods , cloths as charity just destroys all the opportunity they have for business . Even a dependency on charity is built. When you help them grow a small business, opportunities for employment for their people will increase. There will be a constant income source for the people to face poverty.
-
Employment : Provide them jobs .They don't need charity. They just need a good source of income.
Bonus : Money Management Advices .Teach them how to use their wealth and earning wisely
