Re: Does Charity make the richer, richer or the poor richer?

Yeh understand, yet within writing that by chance i came up with that idea, of if the charities were based in poorer countries to begin with; then all funding would be invested in the place it was going too, not in our banks.
Money is currency and so flows or at least use to from one place to the next.

So by allowing poorer people to work in their own charities, we also give a source of income, to then finance that village or place out of poverty and into equality.

Else do you see if a rich person goes and helps a poor village whom have nothing, after the rich volunteer has gone, where is the money? Where is the care? It went when the volunteer does...
yes we can build a road and a well for them, yet without constant funding how are they meant to maintain it, with out said volunteers?

Everyone needs independence and acceptance of their own ability to survive, so the pity and victimization of people only leaves them feeling more helpless then they were before.

So let put the tools and money they need in their own hands and then all is more balanced.

Like you say assessments of said charities are needed, yet when our own governments and the mess of the Tsunami, were funding didn't get to where it was needed.
Do you think their own people would have let the money not get to where it was needed? when they can see first hand where and what it is needed on and how to best spend it.

So when a charity is trying to help finance something, how many times will they know the current situation, as well as the people who live there??

Not many..

Do you see what this is getting at, that by giving the money to them, we are indeed giving the money to them, yet when we give to our self's, we are giving to our self's.

Like church roofs, does collection box money go to helping the poor? Nope it goes to making a new church roof?
Same principle....So when will the currency flow?
When we let it and I don't believe we are doing purposely in many cases, as some are controlling that flow of money to make more money.

You realize also if you take English currency to a poor country, it is worth 15x the amount, and then change that again and double it etc....you make a lot of money, if you have money!
