Interesting editorial on financial aid from the Poverty World Times

 

It links in with some of the things I was taught whilst studying human geogrpahy. That was that the best way to help people was to provide them with the knowledge of how to support themselves, the tools with which to do so, and the knowledge of how to repair the tools when they broke.

 

Think this quote from that article sums it up:

 

Only one conclusion can be drawn from our current failure to irradiate global poverty: traditional aid packages do not solve the poverty and hunger that plague the world, manufacturing and marketing must be developed and employed by poor nations. They must be made to be strong independent economic entities.
